About
Dr. Pedro Torres is a leading researcher in medical and industrial robotics, with a focus on computer-assisted surgery and machine learning for automation. His major contributions lie in developing robotic systems for orthopedic surgery, particularly using ultrasound imaging as a non-invasive, radiation-free guidance tool. His work on 3D femur reconstruction from robotized ultrasound probes (10 citations) and robotic motion compensation for bone movement during drilling (8 citations) has advanced surgical navigation and precision. Torres also pioneered a vision system for robotic ultrasound-guided orthopedic surgery (23 citations), demonstrating significant impact in the field. Beyond medicine, he has applied machine learning techniques to industrial bin-picking, creating a low-cost solution for randomly placed automotive connectors (18 citations, 2022). His notable achievements include the ROBIHO project, a robot companion for elderly care (3 citations), and a low-cost framework for intelligent robots (2 citations). With over 95 total citations across his top papers, Torres’s work bridges the gap between cutting-edge robotics and practical, affordable solutions, making him a key figure in both surgical robotics and industrial automation.
