About

Dr. Sankho Turjo Sarkar is a pioneer in the design and control of articulated robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). His research centers on optimizing surgical robot kinematics and mechanisms to overcome the physical constraints of port-based procedures, where a robotic arm must operate through a small incision. His most influential work, "Design optimization of minimally invasive surgical robot" (2015, 13 citations), established foundational methods for improving the dexterity and precision of surgical robots. Dr. Sarkar further advanced the field with his study on "Kinematic control of an articulated minimally invasive surgical robotic arm" (2016), where he developed a novel control algorithm enabling a general articulated robotic arm (GARA) to achieve MIS operations despite the port constraint that limits end-effector translation along two axes. This work provides a versatile solution for adapting standard articulated arms to the unique demands of minimally invasive surgery, broadening the potential for robotic assistance in the operating room. His contributions are vital for students and researchers interested in surgical robotics, offering both practical design optimization techniques and innovative kinematic control strategies that push the boundaries of what articulated robots can achieve in constrained surgical environments.
