About
Arindam RoyChoudhury is a uniquely interdisciplinary researcher whose work bridges two distinct domains: urologic surgery and autonomous robotics. In urology, he has made significant contributions to nephron-sparing procedures for small renal masses, demonstrating through 3D volume measurements that partial nephrectomy preserves more renal parenchymal volume than cryoablation or radiofrequency ablation (48 citations). His pioneering work includes using laparoscopic Doppler ultrasound to map arterial flow within the neurovascular bundle during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, and a randomized controlled trial showing dorsal penile nerve block effectively reduces catheter-related pain post-prostatectomy (15 citations). Notably, he investigated how the da Vinci robotic system eliminates hand dominance effects in surgical trainees (31 citations), revealing how robotics can level the playing field in the operating room. In parallel, RoyChoudhury has advanced mobile robotics through novel plane segmentation using flood fill algorithms (12 citations), polygonal perception for navigation (10 citations), and fast-replanning motion control with Aborting A* (6 citations). His work on 3D polygonal mapping for humanoid robots (3 citations) extends these contributions to bipedal locomotion. This rare combination of surgical and robotic expertise positions him as a distinctive voice in both medical and engineering communities.
