About
Tomotaka Ohshima is a pioneering researcher in neuroendovascular robotics, dedicated to making minimally invasive brain surgery safer for both patients and clinicians. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted catheterization, sensory-motor feedback systems, and remote surgery for stroke and aneurysm treatment. Ohshima’s major contribution is the development of a novel operation support robot that integrates force-sensing technology, allowing surgeons to feel tactile feedback during remote or robot-assisted procedures—a critical advancement for delicate neurovascular interventions. His landmark 2019 paper on this system has garnered 23 citations, while his 2021 study achieved the world’s first remote catheter surgery experiment using a neuroendovascular robot, earning 12 citations and demonstrating the feasibility of telesurgery in endovascular care. In 2022, he further refined a dedicated force sensor for the robot, addressing the persistent challenge of cumulative radiation exposure to operators. Ohshima’s work directly tackles two major clinical problems: radiation risk and the lack of haptic feedback in remote procedures. His research is foundational for the next generation of teleoperated neurointervention, promising to expand access to expert stroke care while protecting medical staff.
