About
Giuseppe Del Giudice is a robotics and biomedical engineering researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical robotics, continuum robot mechanics, and minimally invasive urology. His most significant contributions center on developing robotic systems for transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT), a notoriously difficult procedure hampered by limited tool dexterity, poor visualization, and perforation risk. Del Giudice has pioneered purpose-built telerobotic resectoscopes and demonstrated their feasibility through porcine in vivo studies, collectively garnering over 50 citations across his clinical-robotics publications. Equally influential is his foundational work on continuum robot kinematics, particularly the concept of multi-scale motion through equilibrium modulation — enabling robots to achieve both macro- and micro-scale movement within confined anatomical spaces. His investigations into micromotion kinematics and OCT-guided visual servoing (24 citations) further push these platforms toward real-time, image-guided surgical precision. With contributions spanning mechanical design, kinematic modeling, and preclinical validation, Del Giudice's research addresses a clear clinical unmet need while advancing the theoretical underpinnings of flexible surgical robotics, making his work essential reading for students in medical robotics and surgical automation.
