About
Robert G. Stricko is an engineering educator and researcher whose work bridges hands-on robotics education and surgical technology. His primary research areas include first-year engineering design pedagogy, autonomous robotics project development, and optimization of robotic-assisted surgical systems. Stricko’s most notable contribution is his leadership in developing and refining a multi-element, cornerstone autonomous robotics design project for first-year engineering honors students at The Ohio State University. This project, part of the Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors (FEH) program, has evolved over 23 years to incorporate best practices in student development, fostering critical problem-solving and technical skills in early-career engineers. His work in this area has garnered 12 citations, reflecting its influence on engineering education. Additionally, Stricko has explored port placement optimization for robotically-assisted minimally invasive surgery, addressing challenges like triangulation and ergonomics to improve surgical outcomes. Although this work has 3 citations, it highlights his interdisciplinary approach, applying engineering principles to medical challenges. Stricko’s dedication to shaping the next generation of engineers through innovative, project-based learning and his contributions to surgical robotics underscore his impact as both an educator and researcher.
