About
Sungmin Seung is a pioneering roboticist whose work is transforming the landscape of minimally invasive neurosurgery. His research focuses on developing advanced robotic systems for delicate brain tumor removal, with a particular emphasis on single-port and MRI-compatible platforms. Seung’s major contributions include the creation of the SiromanS system, a single-port robotic manipulator for brain tumor surgery, and innovative methods for image-based force estimation that circumvent the need for fragile force sensors on slender surgical tools. He has also pioneered haptic-guided teleoperation systems that provide surgeons with crucial tactile feedback during procedures, and developed a stiffness-adjustable, 6-DOF robotic system designed specifically for pituitary tumor resection under MRI guidance. With his most-cited papers garnering 20, 17, and 17 citations respectively, Seung’s work has laid the groundwork for safer, more precise interventions in neurosurgery. His recent achievements include the development of an MRI-compatible endonasal surgical robotic system, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in image-guided, minimally invasive brain surgery.
