About

Sumanth Srivatsan is a researcher at the intersection of haptic technology and robotic-assisted surgery, making notable contributions to both fields. His work on haptic feedback systems is best represented by his highly cited review, "A Comprehensive Review of Haptic Gloves: Advances, Challenges, and Future Directions" (2023, 9 citations), which provides a critical analysis of efforts to replicate the human sense of touch using technologies like piezoelectric and Hall Effect sensors. This foundational review has become a key resource for researchers developing more intuitive human-machine interfaces. In parallel, Srivatsan has made significant clinical contributions to robotic surgery, particularly through his pioneering work with the novel HUGO robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system. His paper "Robotic hernia repair with the novel HUGO robot system – An initial experience from a tertiary centre" (2024, 5 citations) documents the first clinical applications of this next-generation platform for ventral and groin hernia repair. By bridging the gap between advanced haptics and surgical robotics, Srivatsan is helping shape the future of minimally invasive procedures, where enhanced tactile feedback promises to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes.
