About

Glenn Guest is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, haptics, and telemedicine, whose work is reshaping how surgical and diagnostic care is delivered across distances. His primary research areas include robust adaptive control for teleoperation systems, haptic feedback technologies, and the development of remote medical examination platforms. Guest’s major contributions lie in solving critical challenges in Internet-based robotic systems, particularly addressing time-varying delays and model uncertainties that have long hindered reliable remote control. His most cited work, "Robust Adaptive Control of Internet-based Bilateral Teleoperation Systems with Time-Varying Delay and Model Uncertainties" (2019, 12 citations), introduces a novel control framework that ensures stability and transparency even under unpredictable network conditions—a foundational advance for telesurgery. Demonstrating remarkable adaptability, Guest responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by co-authoring "Live-streaming surgery during COVID-19 using a 3D printed camera" (2021, 4 citations), an innovative solution that preserved medical education when operating room access was restricted. His latest notable achievement, "HERCULES: Haptically-Enabled Remotely Controlled Ultrasound Examination System" (2025, 3 citations), showcases his ongoing commitment to practical telemedicine, proving the feasibility of haptic-guided remote diagnostics. Through these efforts, Guest is not only advancing control theory but also building the tangible infrastructure for a future where expert medical care transcends geographical boundaries.
