About

Jairo Pinedo is a robotics researcher specializing in surgical automation, with a focus on asymmetric bimanual control for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgeries (MIS). His work addresses the critical challenge of coordinating dual-arm serial manipulators under remote center of motion (RCM) constraints—a fundamental requirement for precise, minimally invasive procedures. Pinedo’s key contribution lies in developing null space controllers that ensure fixed RCM compliance while enabling independent arm movements, enhancing dexterity and safety in surgical robots. Although his most-cited paper, “Asymmetric Bimanual Control of Dual-arm Serial Manipulator for Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgeries” (2020), has garnered 3 citations, its technical novelty in solving constrained bimanual coordination marks a meaningful step toward more intuitive and reliable robotic surgical systems. His research bridges control theory and clinical application, offering a foundation for future work in autonomous or semi-autonomous surgical assistance. Pinedo’s focus on practical, constraint-aware control strategies positions him as a rising contributor to the field of medical robotics, with potential to impact both surgical training and patient outcomes.
