About
Dr. Makoto Hamasaki is a leading researcher in the field of robotic-assisted surgery, with a specific focus on haptic feedback and tissue interaction. His most notable contribution is the development and in vivo evaluation of the Saroa surgical system, a platform designed to address a critical limitation of current robotic platforms: the lack of tactile sensation. In his highly cited 2025 study, Dr. Hamasaki quantified the relationship between grasping forces and resulting tissue damage, demonstrating how the Saroa system’s haptic feedback function can enable surgeons to apply more precise, safer force during delicate procedures. This work, already garnering 7 citations, provides foundational evidence for integrating force feedback into clinical robotic systems to reduce complications. By bridging the gap between mechanical precision and sensory awareness, Dr. Hamasaki’s research directly enhances patient safety and operator confidence. His contributions are pivotal for the next generation of surgical robots, promising a future where surgeons can “feel” through their instruments, ultimately reducing patient burden and improving surgical outcomes.
