About

Mohammad Khorasani is a biomedical engineer and roboticist whose research focuses on the design and development of generic, adaptable robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery. His core contributions lie in creating versatile actuation and interfacing mechanisms that can control a wide range of surgical scopes—from standard zero-degree and angulated laparoscopes to complex articulated endoscopes. His most-cited work, "Preliminary design and evaluation of a generic surgical scope adapter" (11 citations), introduces a foundational platform that allows a single robotic system to accommodate different scope types, addressing a key limitation of procedure-specific assistants. Expanding on this, his paper on a "generic scope actuation system for flexible endoscopes" (7 citations) further demonstrates his drive toward universal surgical tools. Notably, his work on a "head motion-based interfacing mechanism for articulated laparoscopes" (4 citations) pioneers an intuitive, first-person control paradigm that frees surgeons' hands while providing natural camera navigation. Through these innovations, Khorasani is helping to standardize and simplify robotic scope assistance, with the potential to reduce costs and broaden access to advanced laparoscopic technologies.
