About

Yusuke Kasahara is a leading researcher in medical robotics, with a focus on haptic feedback systems and autonomous surgical assistance. His work centers on developing intelligent robotic tools for high-risk procedures, particularly bone drilling and soft tissue manipulation in oral surgery and orthopedics. Kasahara’s most cited paper, “Telerobotic‐assisted bone‐drilling system using bilateral control with feed operation scaling and cutting force scaling” (2012, 52 citations), introduces a groundbreaking bilateral control framework that scales both operator motion and cutting forces, significantly reducing the risk of accidents during dental implant surgery. He further advanced the field by proposing a rupture detection method for haptic surgical forceps (2010, 11 citations), enabling real-time identification of tissue damage through environmental impedance estimation. Kasahara also contributed to bone density classification for robotic drilling (2013), allowing adaptive force control based on real-time tissue properties. His work on modal-power-based haptic motion recognition and transformer-gyrator integrated bilateral control expands the theoretical foundations of haptic interaction, enabling more intuitive and safe human-robot collaboration. With a research portfolio that bridges control theory, haptics, and clinical application, Kasahara’s innovations are paving the way for safer, more precise robotic surgery.
