About

Dr. Masakazu Soshi is a leading researcher in the field of robotic orthopedic surgery, with a specific focus on optimizing bone machining processes for joint replacement procedures. His work centers on the mechanics of bone cutting and the development of intelligent toolpath strategies to enhance the precision and safety of robotic arthroplasty. Dr. Soshi’s major contributions include deriving linear force models for bone cutting, which directly inform the design of surgical tools and robotic control algorithms. He also pioneered a novel methodology for predicting cutting forces using CAM volumetric data, enabling surgeons to select optimal tooling and toolpaths without requiring hands-on control of the robot. His most cited paper, "Analysis and optimization of bone machining for robotic orthopedic surgeries" (12 citations), provides foundational insights into the mechanics of bone-chip formation. Additionally, his work on toolpath force prediction (11 citations) and a new methodology for optimizing robotic arthroplasty (4 citations) has advanced the state of the art in computer-assisted surgery. Dr. Soshi’s research bridges mechanical engineering and clinical practice, offering tangible improvements in surgical outcomes and patient safety.
