Faculty
Senior Instructor
Leo Stocco
Medical robotics, haptic interfaces, electro-mechanical optimization.
Leo Stocco received his PhD degree from UBC in the field of robotics and control in 2000. He went on to lead the Robotics Group at Integrated Surgical Systems which builds a surgical robot for total hip and knee arthroplasty surgery. In 2005, he returned to UBC as a faculty member where his research interests include biomedical devices, haptic interfaces and mechatronic systems.
