Jérôme Szewczyk is a Professor at Sorbonne University, a lecturer at Polytech Sorbonne, and a researcher at the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR). Since 2019, he has led the Assistance to Gestures and Therapeutic Applications (AGATHE) team at ISIR, which also holds the status of a single-team unit at INSERM (ERL U1150). He represents the AGATHE team in the Computer Assisted Medical Interventions (CAMI) lab and maintains collaborative projects with multiple institutions including the University of Technology of Compiègne, University of Rennes 1, Sorbonne University's LIP6 lab, and several hospital departments. Professor Szewczyk's research centers on the design of interactive robotic systems for medical-surgical procedures, organized around three key technological domains: long-range miniature intracorporeal robots, robotic instruments for fine surgery, and human-machine interfaces in medical robotics. His work emphasizes early integration of medical context requirements, experimental validation, and practical application. He serves as a scientific advisor to Basecamp Vascular, a company he co-founded in 2016, demonstrating his commitment to translating research into clinical solutions. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on medical robotics applications, particularly in endovascular navigation and middle ear surgery. His work combines advanced image processing techniques with robotic systems to improve surgical precision and outcomes. Key trends include the development of AI-powered tools for medical image analysis, novel approaches to catheter guidance without contrast agents, and dual-scale robotic solutions that address the unique challenges of microsurgery. Professor Szewczyk actively collaborates with numerous institutions across France, including university laboratories and hospital departments specializing in gastroenterology, ENT, and vascular surgery. These collaborations often involve joint research projects and the development of specialized medical technologies. His work with Basecamp Vascular represents a successful example of academic entrepreneurship in the medical robotics field. The AGATHE team at ISIR serves as Professor Szewczyk's primary research environment, focusing on the intersection of robotics, medicine, and human factors. The team works closely with clinicians to develop and validate robotic systems that address real clinical needs, with a particular emphasis on minimally invasive procedures. Their research spans from fundamental robotics principles to clinical implementation, creating a comprehensive pipeline from concept to application.
