About

Dr. Ho Seok Song is a pioneering researcher in surgical robotics, with a primary focus on haptic feedback systems for minimally invasive procedures. His most influential work, "Optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) force reflection sensing system of surgical tool for minimally invasive surgery" (2014, 11 citations), addresses a critical limitation in robotic surgery: the loss of tactile sensation. Song’s key contribution lies in developing an FBG-based force sensing system that restores force reflection to surgeons, enabling more precise and safer tissue manipulation during minimally invasive robotic surgery (MIRS). By integrating optical fiber sensors into surgical tools, his work bridges the gap between traditional open surgery’s tactile feedback and modern robotic systems. This innovation has direct implications for improving surgical outcomes, reducing tissue damage, and enhancing the surgeon’s situational awareness. Song’s research continues to influence the design of smart surgical instruments, and his work is frequently cited by engineers and clinicians seeking to advance haptic feedback in medical robotics. His contributions represent a significant step toward making robotic surgery more intuitive and effective.
