About
Won Man Park is a pioneering researcher in the fields of telesurgery, haptic robotics, and teleoperation systems. His most cited work, "Laboratory-level telesurgery with industrial robots and haptic devices communicating via the internet" (2009, 16 citations), represents a foundational contribution to remote surgical robotics. In this study, Park demonstrated the feasibility of performing precise surgical tasks using industrial robots and haptic feedback devices over standard internet connections—a proof-of-concept that has influenced subsequent developments in telemedicine and minimally invasive surgery. His research addresses critical challenges in time-delay compensation, force feedback fidelity, and real-time control for remote operations. By integrating industrial-grade robotic arms with commercially available haptic interfaces, Park lowered the barrier to entry for telesurgery research and expanded access to surgical expertise in underserved regions. His work has been cited by studies advancing teleoperated robotic systems, medical simulation, and human-robot interaction. Park’s contributions remain relevant as telemedicine and remote surgery gain increasing importance in global healthcare delivery, particularly for emergency response and rural medicine.
