About
S. Grange is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction and haptic interfaces for surgical robotics. His work spans affective computing, collaborative control, and minimally invasive robotic surgery. Grange’s most influential contribution is the development of the sigma.7 haptic interface for the MiroSurge bi-manual surgical console (2011, 123 citations), which revolutionized haptic feedback in robotic surgery by enabling precise, intuitive control for surgeons. Earlier, his seminal paper “An affective mobile robot educator with a full-time job” (1999, 228 citations) explored emotionally expressive robots for education, a foundational work in social robotics. Grange also advanced multi-robot remote driving with collaborative control (2002, 23 citations), addressing operator attention limits by distributing control between humans and robots. His research on human-oriented tracking for human-robot interaction (2002) further enhanced natural communication through computer vision. With over 390 total citations, Grange’s work has significantly shaped surgical robotics and human-robot collaboration, bridging engineering and human factors to create more responsive, intuitive robotic systems.
