About

Sergio Lescano is a pioneering roboticist at the intersection of micro-engineering and surgical innovation, whose work is redefining precision in laser microsurgery. His primary research focuses on developing micro-technologies and robotic systems for robot-assisted endoscopic laser microsurgery, with a particular emphasis on laryngeal and vocal cord procedures. Lescano’s major contributions include the design and kinematic analysis of meso-scale parallel robots that enhance dexterity and control in delicate phonomicrosurgery, addressing the limitations of conventional tools. His most cited work, “μRALP and Beyond” (2021, 30 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of micro-robotic systems that enable safer, more precise laser ablation in organs like the larynx. He has also advanced the field through surveys on surgical microgrippers (2023), tackling challenges in miniaturization, actuation, and biomaterials. Notably, Lescano’s doctoral thesis (2015) laid the groundwork for a dedicated microrobot for vocal cord microsurgery, developed within the European μRALP project. His innovative heuristic method merging artificial vision and neural networks for sensorless robotic arm control (2020) further showcases his cross-disciplinary impact. With a career spanning foundational microrobot design to cutting-edge surgical applications, Lescano is shaping the future of minimally invasive, robot-assisted microsurgery.
