About
Elisa Iovene is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of augmented reality (AR), robotics, and medical technology. Her work focuses on enhancing surgical precision and human-robot collaboration, with key contributions in AR-assisted robot learning, variable impedance control, and shared control frameworks for minimally invasive procedures. Her most cited paper, "Recent Advancements in Augmented Reality for Robotic Applications: A Survey" (2023, 50 citations), establishes her as a leading voice in integrating AR into robotic systems. She has developed groundbreaking frameworks for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and exoscope automation in neurosurgery, achieving real-time tool tracking and markerless visual servoing. Her optimization-based variable impedance control strategy (2024, 32 citations) enables safer medical contact tasks, while her teleoperation control of bionic hands (2022, 14 citations) advances prosthetic and human-robot interaction. With over 158 total citations and a strong trajectory of recent publications (2023–2025), Iovene is shaping the future of autonomous, AR-enhanced surgical robotics. Her work not only improves patient outcomes but also paves the way for intuitive, hands-free robotic assistance in complex medical procedures.
