About
Dr. Veronica Penza is a leading researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a primary focus on enhancing safety and autonomy in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Her work spans critical areas including computer vision, augmented reality, and autonomous robotic systems for both abdominal and microsurgical applications. Dr. Penza’s major contributions include the development of a dense soft tissue 3D reconstruction method refined with super-pixel segmentation for robotic abdominal surgery (43 citations), and the creation of EnViSoRS, an enhanced vision system that tracks user-defined safety volumes to minimize intraoperative bleeding risk (28 citations). She has also pioneered vision-guided autonomous systems for abnormal tissue detection using electrical bioimpedance scanning (16 citations) and collaborative dual-robot systems for autonomous venous access (9 citations). Notably, her work on μRALP explores micro-technologies for robot-assisted endoscopic laser microsurgery (30 citations), addressing critical challenges in delicate laryngeal procedures. Dr. Penza’s research has accumulated over 170 citations, demonstrating significant impact in advancing surgical safety and autonomy. Her innovative safety enhancement frameworks and augmented reality navigation systems continue to shape the future of robotic surgery, making procedures safer and more accessible.
