About

Yukihiro Ueda is a pioneering researcher in robotic surgery, with a focus on tele-surgery and endoscopic surgical systems. His work addresses critical challenges in remote surgical procedures, particularly the impact of network time-delay and force feedback on tele-surgery—a key contribution that has garnered 28 citations and laid the groundwork for safer, more reliable remote operations. Ueda’s most notable achievement is the development of a tele-controlled endoscopic surgical robot system, demonstrated in a landmark experiment between Japan and Thailand for Tele-NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery). This system, capable of penetrating the body through the esophagus to perform surgeries in the upper gastric tract and abdominal cavity, represents a significant leap in minimally invasive techniques. With 10 citations, this work showcases Ueda’s role in advancing global surgical collaboration and robot-assisted interventions. His research continues to influence the design of haptic feedback and latency compensation in telemedicine, making him a key figure in the evolution of remote surgical robotics.
