Her main research concerns Haptic technology, Simulation, Artificial intelligence, Robot and Bevel. Allison M. Okamura has researched Haptic technology in several fields, including Invasive surgery, Surgery, Knot tying, Teleoperation and Robotic systems. Her research integrates issues of Telerobotics, Surgical robot, Virtual reality and Control theory in her study of Simulation.

Her Artificial intelligence research includes elements of Human–computer interaction and Computer vision. Her Robot study deals with Control engineering intersecting with Motion control. Her Bevel research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomedical engineering, Needle insertion, Imaging phantom, Deflection and Needle steering.

Her most cited work include:

  • An active cannula for bio-sensing and surgical intervention (623 citations)
  • Force modeling for needle insertion into soft tissue (609 citations)
  • Nonholonomic Modeling of Needle Steering (526 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Allison M. Okamura mainly investigates Haptic technology, Simulation, Robot, Artificial intelligence and Teleoperation. She focuses mostly in the field of Haptic technology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Control theory and, in certain cases, Nonholonomic system. The concepts of her Simulation study are interwoven with issues in Telerobotics, Control theory, Virtual reality and Virtual fixture.

Her Robot study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Control engineering and Mechanical engineering. Allison M. Okamura works mostly in the field of Artificial intelligence, limiting it down to topics relating to Computer vision and, in certain cases, Perception, as a part of the same area of interest. The Teleoperation study combines topics in areas such as Workspace and Sensory substitution.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Haptic technology (50.94%)
  • Simulation (36.08%)

  • Robot (28.54%)
  • Human–computer interaction (13.92%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Allison M. Okamura mainly focuses on Haptic technology, Robot, Human–computer interaction, Teleoperation and Wearable computer. Allison M. Okamura is doing genetic studies as part of her Simulation and Artificial intelligence and Haptic technology investigations. Her work carried out in the field of Simulation brings together such families of science as Modality, Tension and Set.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mechanical engineering and Actuator, Control theory. The study incorporates disciplines such as Robot manipulator, Object, Immersion, Robotic surgery and Gesture in addition to Human–computer interaction. Allison M. Okamura combines subjects such as Workspace, Software deployment, Exoskeleton and Tactile sensor with her study of Teleoperation.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A Soft, Steerable Continuum Robot That Grows via Tip Extension. (46 citations)
  • Vine Robots: Design, Teleoperation, and Deployment for Navigation and Exploration (27 citations)
  • Evaluation of Skin Deformation Tactile Feedback for Teleoperated Surgical Tasks (13 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Surgery

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Robot, Haptic technology, Teleoperation, Soft robotics and Actuator. Her Robot study combines topics in areas such as Mechanical engineering, Edge and Control theory. Simulation and Artificial intelligence are the main areas of her Haptic technology studies.
