About

Sotos Voskarides is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of medical robotics, telemedicine, and wireless communications, with a particular focus on advancing remote healthcare delivery through teleoperated robotic systems. His most influential contribution, a 2016 systematic review of medical telerobotic systems (166 citations), has become a key reference in the field, comprehensively mapping the landscape of robotic technologies enabling remote surgeries, diagnoses, and treatments. Voskarides has made notable strides in tele-echography — the remote performance of ultrasound examinations — demonstrating in a widely cited 2016 study that cardiac ultrasonography could be effectively conducted over 4G LTE wireless networks using portable robotic platforms. His earlier work, including contributions to the WORTEX 2012 initiative and the MARTE project in Cyprus, reflects a sustained commitment to translating engineering innovation into real-world healthcare access, particularly for underserved populations. His research on predictive and anticipative control algorithms addresses one of the central technical challenges in teleoperation: compensating for communication time delays to ensure safe and precise remote manipulation. Across his career, Voskarides has helped lay the technical and conceptual foundations for a future where specialist medical expertise can be delivered seamlessly across distances.
