About
Hidenori Ishihara is a prominent robotics and biomedical engineering researcher whose work spans medical robotics, teleoperation, haptic systems, and autonomous robotic platforms. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering contributions to robot-assisted endovascular catheterization, developing systems that shield interventionalists from harmful X-ray radiation while preserving surgical precision through sophisticated haptic force feedback. His Robot-Assisted Endovascular Catheterization System (RAECS), published in 2019, has garnered 163 citations, underscoring its significance in minimally invasive neurosurgery. Complementing this, his earlier teleoperated haptic catheter systems (2014–2015) established foundational safety protocols for collision detection during catheter navigation, collectively accumulating over 260 citations and demonstrating sustained influence in the field. Beyond medical robotics, Ishihara has made notable contributions to prosthetics and rehabilitation engineering, including sEMG-based motion classification for upper-limb prostheses and variable-stiffness exoskeletons for elbow rehabilitation. His work extends further into unconventional robotic locomotion, including amphibious spherical robots and roller-skating/walking hybrid platforms. His early research on wet adhesion systems for wall-climbing robots reflects the remarkable breadth of his engineering expertise. With a body of work exceeding 700 cumulative citations, Ishihara represents a versatile and impactful force in modern robotics research.
