About
Rashid Yasin is a pioneering researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a primary focus on continuum robots, haptic feedback, and model-mediated telemanipulation. His work addresses critical challenges in minimally invasive surgery, particularly in restoring the tactile awareness lost during such procedures. Yasin’s major contributions include developing novel joint-level force sensing for continuum robots, enabling indirect hybrid force/position control even in the presence of friction—a key advancement for safe interaction in delicate environments like the middle ear. He has also pioneered methods for online estimation of organ geometry and tissue stiffness, allowing surgeons to “feel” underlying structures such as tumors or arteries through robotic palpation. His work on force-controlled exploration for updating virtual fixture geometry has significantly improved situational awareness in telemanipulated tasks. With over 120 citations across his most-cited papers, Yasin’s research has demonstrated feasibility in critical applications, from steerable micromanipulation in the middle ear to remote landmark identification for emergency cricothyrotomy. His achievements include developing semi-autonomous organ exploration techniques using continuum robots, bridging the gap between pre-operative imaging and intra-operative reality.
