About

Dr. Tsung-Han Ho is a leading researcher in surgical robotics, with a primary focus on developing intelligent, handheld robotic systems for orthopedic procedures. His most-cited work, "Shared Control for a Handheld Orthopedic Surgical Robot" (2021, 23 citations), addresses a critical challenge in robot-assisted surgery: balancing the benefits of a compact, handheld device—such as tremor suppression and motion stabilization—with the inherent limitations of manual guidance. Dr. Ho’s major contribution lies in pioneering shared control algorithms that seamlessly integrate human dexterity with robotic precision, enabling surgeons to maintain a familiar workflow while benefiting from enhanced accuracy. This work has significant implications for improving outcomes in bone milling and drilling tasks, where even slight hand tremors can lead to errors. Beyond this paper, Dr. Ho’s research portfolio spans human-robot interaction, parallel kinematic mechanisms, and intraoperative sensing, positioning him as a key innovator in translating advanced robotics from the lab to the operating room. His achievements are particularly notable for their focus on practical, ergonomic designs that prioritize surgeon usability, making his contributions highly relevant for students and researchers interested in the future of minimally invasive, robot-assisted surgery.
