About

Yuka Mori is a pioneering researcher in surgical robotics, with a primary focus on orthopedic interventions. Her most cited work, "Control of fracture reduction robot using force/torque measurement" (2008), introduces a robotic system for femoral fracture reduction that employs indirect traction—a technique designed to prevent complications like bone splits from high stress. By integrating force/torque measurement into the control loop, Mori’s system enhances precision and safety during traction, a critical step in fracture repair. Though her citation count is modest (3 citations for this paper), the work represents a foundational contribution to the field of robot-assisted orthopedic surgery, addressing a real clinical need for minimally invasive, complication-free procedures. Mori’s research bridges mechanical engineering and surgical practice, offering a tangible solution to improve patient outcomes. Her achievements underscore the importance of interdisciplinary innovation in medical robotics, making her a notable figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of robotics, biomechanics, and surgical automation.
