About

Yusuke Wakasa is a pioneering researcher in robotic telesurgery, with a focus on communication latency, data security, and system redundancy. His work addresses critical barriers to making remote surgery safe and mainstream. In his most cited study (2023, 19 citations), he quantified the effects of communication delay in dual cockpit remote robotic surgery, establishing acceptable thresholds for video compression and restoration—a foundational contribution for real-world telesurgery. He further advanced the field by demonstrating how multiple communication lines can ensure redundancy and enable effective telementoring (2024, 13 citations), a vital step toward reliable, interruption-free remote procedures. Most recently, he evaluated the trade-offs between image compression and cybersecurity devices (2025, 2 citations), using the hinotori™ surgical robot to test secure transmission between Hirosaki and Goshogawar. Wakasa’s research directly supports the clinical adoption of telesurgery by solving practical challenges in latency, security, and connectivity. His work is essential reading for engineers and surgeons aiming to make robotic surgery accessible across distances, and his studies are already shaping standards for next-generation telemedicine systems.
