About

Jan Krieglstein is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery, 5G telecommunications, and advanced human-robot interaction. His primary research areas include telesurgery, skill-based robot programming, and mixed reality (MR) systems for surgical and industrial applications. Krieglstein’s most impactful contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility of remote robotic microsurgeries over 5G networks. His landmark studies, such as “5G Robotic Telesurgery” (2020, 49 citations) and “Operating From a Distance” (2020, 45 citations), successfully performed complex transoral laser microsurgeries on cadavers from a distance, proving that ultra-low latency 5G can enable precise, real-time surgical control—a breakthrough for telemedicine and access to specialized care. More recently, his work on “Skill-based Robot Programming in Mixed Reality” (2023, 9 citations) advances intuitive robot teaching by integrating force-enabled digital twins, reducing errors in parameter-heavy assembly tasks. Krieglstein’s research not only pushes the boundaries of remote surgery but also bridges the gap between expert programming and accessible automation. His achievements highlight a career dedicated to making high-precision robotics safer and more deployable across critical fields.
