About
Yoshimi Yamasaki is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic surgery, with a specific focus on haptic feedback systems that enhance surgical precision and safety. Her work centers on integrating force feedback functions into surgical robots, addressing a critical gap in modern robotic-assisted procedures—the absence of tactile sensation. In her 2023 study, she demonstrated how force feedback in a surgical robot significantly improves suturing performance, a finding that has already garnered 11 citations for its practical implications. Her 2024 preclinical evaluation of the Saroa surgical system further solidified her impact, showing that contact-force feedback reduces the risk of tissue damage by alerting surgeons to excessive force application. With 10 citations, this work is shaping the next generation of safer robotic platforms. Yamasaki’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering tangible solutions to make robotic surgery more intuitive and less reliant on visual cues alone. Her contributions are particularly valuable for junior surgeons, who benefit from the added safety net of force feedback. As robotic surgery continues to expand, Yamasaki’s insights are essential for developing systems that prioritize both efficacy and patient safety.
