About

B Persons is a pioneering researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a specific focus on advancing minimally invasive surgical tools through additive manufacturing. Their key research areas include concentric tube robots (CTRs), flexible manipulator design, and the application of 3D printing technologies to surgical instrumentation. Persons made a significant contribution by demonstrating that Multi Jet Fusion of Nylon-12 is a viable method for fabricating concentric tube robots—a breakthrough that addresses longstanding challenges in producing needle-sized, pre-curved tubes with the precision required for delicate surgical procedures. This work, published in 2022, has already garnered 3 citations, signaling growing interest in their innovative approach. By proving that 3D printing can replace traditional, labor-intensive manufacturing methods for CTRs, Persons has opened new pathways for rapid prototyping and customization in surgical robotics. Their research not only advances the practical feasibility of these flexible manipulators but also holds promise for improving patient outcomes through more accessible, tailored surgical tools. Persons continues to push the boundaries of what is possible at the intersection of robotics and materials science.
