About

Adam D. Costanza is a pioneering researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive cardiac interventions. His major contributions center on the development of "Cerberus," a novel parallel wire robot designed for epicardial therapies—specifically, the uniform delivery of gene therapies to treat congestive heart failure. Costanza’s work addresses a critical gap in cardiac care, creating a device that can be deployed through a small subxiphoid incision and adhere to the beating heart, providing a stable platform for precise interventions. His research on hybrid force/position control systems has been instrumental in ensuring the robot’s accuracy and safety during dynamic cardiac motion. With his most-cited paper, "Parallel Force/Position Control of an Epicardial Parallel Wire Robot" (2016), accumulating 11 citations, and foundational work from 2014 garnering 9 citations, Costanza’s impact is evident in the growing interest in robotic solutions for heart failure. His achievements represent a significant step toward transforming how life-saving gene therapies are delivered, merging robotics with cutting-edge cardiovascular medicine.
