About
Erkin Gezgin’s research lies at the intersection of mechanism design, surgical robotics, and rehabilitation engineering, with a focus on creating novel robotic systems that enhance precision and safety in medical applications. His foundational work on the structural synthesis of serial and Euclidean platform manipulators (2006, 2008) has provided key theoretical frameworks for robot kinematics, while his development of a hand rehabilitation robot using a Watt II six-bar linkage (2016, 39 citations) demonstrates a direct translation of mechanism theory to therapeutic practice. Gezgin has made significant contributions to minimally invasive surgery, notably through a single-port laparoscopic robot with high force transmission and a large workspace (2014, 35 citations), and a spherical parallel manipulator for brain surgery (2022). His recent work includes a portable manipulation system for commercial surgical forceps (2023) and the integration of function generation synthesis into multi-leaf collimator design (2020). With over 170 total citations, Gezgin’s research is characterized by a systematic approach to synthesizing mechanisms that meet the demanding constraints of surgical environments—balancing compactness, dexterity, and force transmission. His contributions continue to shape the next generation of robotic systems for healthcare.
