About

Asuka Nakamura is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, human-computer interaction, and clinical neuroscience. Her primary research areas include avatar robotics, visual perception systems, and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for neurosurgical applications. Nakamura’s major contributions lie in developing advanced visual systems for avatar robots that integrate eye-tracking technology with foveated rendering and autofocus control, enabling more natural and efficient remote operation. Her work on the "Visual System of Avatar Robot Using Eye-Tracking and Foveated Rendering" (2023) and "Autofocus control in the visual system of an avatar robot" (2024) demonstrates how head-mounted displays can dynamically adjust camera focus and image processing based on user gaze, significantly enhancing telepresence realism. Additionally, her clinical research on "Clinical experiences and accuracy of stereoelectroencephalography using the robotic arm Cirq" (2025) evaluates the precision of robotic-assisted electrode implantation for epilepsy surgery, contributing to safer and more accurate neurosurgical procedures. With each of her most-cited papers garnering initial citations, Nakamura’s work is gaining recognition for bridging engineering innovation with practical clinical applications. Her achievements highlight a unique ability to translate complex robotic systems into tangible solutions for both teleoperation and medical intervention.
