About

Moein Mehrtash is a leading researcher in the intersection of magnetic levitation, medical robotics, and vibration control. His primary contributions lie in developing novel methodologies for the precise motion control of magnetically guided robots (MGRs) and capsule-robots, particularly for biomedical applications. His most influential work, "Dual-Axial Motion Control of a Magnetic Levitation System Using Hall-Effect Sensors" (80 citations), introduced a groundbreaking approach to determine the position of MGRs in horizontal planes using magnetic flux sensors—a technique that can function independently or alongside optical sensors when line-of-sight is blocked. This innovation has significant implications for in vivo and dust-free environments. Mehrtash also pioneered the design, fabrication, and control of a magnetic capsule-robot for the human esophagus (32 citations), advancing minimally invasive medical interventions. His work on vibration absorbers for automation systems (9 citations) addresses critical challenges in high-speed rotating equipment. With a focus on multi-degree-of-freedom motion simulators for magnetically levitated robots, Mehrtash’s research continues to push boundaries in creating lubrication-free, high-precision robotic systems for specialized environments, from cleanrooms to the human body.
