About

Sang-Rock Lee is a leading researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a primary focus on haptic feedback systems for minimally invasive surgery. His work centers on developing advanced control mechanisms that enhance the precision and safety of robot-assisted surgical interventions. Lee’s most cited paper, "Repulsive force control of minimally invasive surgery robot associated with three degrees of freedom electrorheological fluid-based haptic master" (2013), introduces a novel repulsive force feedback control system that leverages electrorheological fluids to create a three-degree-of-freedom haptic master. This innovation allows surgeons to experience realistic force sensations during remote procedures, significantly improving operational reliability and reducing tissue damage risks. With 16 citations, this work has laid foundational principles for integrating smart materials into surgical haptics, influencing subsequent research in teleoperation and force feedback. Lee’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between theoretical control systems and practical clinical applications, making him a key figure in advancing the ergonomics and safety of robot-assisted surgery.
