About
Yoshito Otake is a pioneering researcher in the intersection of surgical robotics, medical imaging, and image-guided interventions. His work focuses on developing advanced robotic systems and navigation technologies for minimally invasive surgery, with key contributions in deformable image registration, endoscopic robotics, and intraoperative guidance. Otake's most cited paper (21 citations) introduces a deformable image registration method for cone-beam CT guided transoral robotic base-of-tongue surgery, addressing the challenge of precise target localization in highly deformed surgical setups. He also developed a 2D-3D radiograph-to-CBCT registration technique for C-arm image-guided robotic surgery (14 citations), enhancing accuracy in complex procedures. Otake led the creation of an endoscopic robotic system with two manipulators for gastric tube surgeries (13 citations), a groundbreaking achievement in natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). His work extends to telecontrol functions for tele-NOTES surgery (9 citations) and navigation systems for endoscopic robots (7 citations). With over 80 total citations, Otake's research has significantly advanced the field of image-guided robotic surgery, enabling safer, more precise interventions across multiple surgical domains.
