About
Marcin Balicki is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of medical robotics, surgical instrumentation, and minimally invasive surgery, with particular expertise in vitreoretinal microsurgery and endovascular neurosurgical robotics. His work has fundamentally advanced the field of robot-assisted eye surgery, most notably through the development of the Steady-Hand Eye Robot — a cooperative robotic system designed to augment surgeon precision during delicate retinal procedures where instrument forces fall below the threshold of human perception. Balicki's contributions to micro-force sensing technology, including a landmark sub-millimetric fiber-optic force sensor with 0.25 mN resolution, have enabled unprecedented real-time feedback during procedures such as membrane peeling, where excessive force can cause irreversible retinal damage. His integration of optical coherence tomography into microsurgical instruments further exemplifies his commitment to translating cutting-edge sensing technologies into clinically viable tools. More recently, his highly cited 2022 work on magnetically guided telerobotic neurovascular interventions demonstrates an expanding research vision. With over 1,450 cumulative citations across his most recognized publications, Balicki's research continues to shape the future of precision surgical robotics and human-machine collaboration in high-stakes clinical environments.
