About
Dr. Hiromasa Masuda is a leading figure in the field of micro-robotic surgery and haptic feedback systems, with a primary focus on developing high-precision force-sensing technologies for bilateral micro-operation systems. His most cited work, "Development and Testing of Force-Sensing Forceps Using FBG for Bilateral Micro-Operation System" (2018, 25 citations), addresses a critical challenge in robotic surgery: the need for force sensors that remain accurate despite machine vibration during robot motion. By integrating Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors into surgical forceps, Masuda enables real-time, noise-resistant force measurement, which is essential for reducing intervening impedance and improving force control gain in delicate procedures. This innovation directly enhances the safety and precision of bilateral teleoperation systems, allowing surgeons to perform micro-scale operations with greater tactile feedback and stability. Masuda’s contributions are foundational to advancing haptic interfaces in medical robotics, and his work continues to influence the design of more responsive and reliable surgical instruments for minimally invasive interventions.
