About
Dr. Shadi M. Munshi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery, haptic feedback, and additive manufacturing. Her primary research focuses on developing next-generation surgical tools that enhance precision, telepresence, and tactile sensation for minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Munshi’s most notable contribution is the development of a master–slave 3D printed robotic surgical finger with integrated haptic feedback, a breakthrough that allows surgeons to remotely control dexterous manipulators while receiving real-time tactile sensations. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 7 citations, addresses a critical limitation in robotic surgery: the loss of touch. By combining 3D printing with sophisticated haptic systems, she has created a platform that is both customizable and cost-effective, potentially democratizing access to advanced surgical robotics. Her research not only advances the field of teleoperated surgery but also lays the groundwork for more intuitive human-robot interaction in clinical settings. Dr. Munshi’s work stands out for its practical, translational focus, directly tackling the ergonomic and sensory gaps that have hindered wider adoption of robotic surgical systems.
