About

Carl Sebastian Yebes is a researcher at the intersection of haptics, surgical robotics, and human-machine interaction. His work focuses on enhancing tactile perception in robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), addressing a critical gap in current systems—the loss of direct touch feedback. In his most cited study, "Development of Localized Cutaneous Force Feedback System for Robotics Assisted Surgery Systems" (2024), Yebes introduces a novel system combining a force-sensitive matrix sensor with a 4x4 tactile pin array. This innovation restores localized cutaneous feedback, enabling surgeons to better gauge tissue interaction and improve procedural precision and safety. Though early in his career, his work has already garnered attention, with this paper accumulating 5 citations—a strong indicator of its relevance to the growing field of surgical haptics. Yebes’ contributions are notable for their practical engineering approach to a long-standing challenge in minimally invasive surgery, positioning him as an emerging voice in the development of more intuitive, safer robotic surgical tools. His research promises to bridge the sensory gap between human touch and machine precision.
