About
Nantida Nillahoot is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery and disaster response robotics. Her work spans two critical domains: enhancing the safety of minimally invasive surgical procedures and developing heterogeneous robot teams for humanitarian crises. In surgical robotics, Nillahoot has made significant contributions to understanding the biomechanics of primary trocar insertion during laparoscopic abdominal surgery, where she developed interactive 3D force/torque parameter acquisition systems to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal and vascular injuries. Her earlier work on the Veress Needle Insertion Robotic System established foundational force data for soft tissue insertion, advancing robot-assisted surgical systems. In disaster robotics, she leads the e-ASIA joint research program on heterogeneous robot collaboration for safety, security, and rescue operations, addressing challenges like floods and landslides where immediate human intervention is dangerous. Her most cited work (20 citations) on this topic demonstrates the practical impact of her research in disaster risk reduction. Nillahoot’s unique ability to bridge surgical precision with emergency response robotics makes her a notable figure in both medical and humanitarian engineering fields.
