About
Pourya Torabi is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design, analysis, and calibration of surgical robots, with a particular focus on parallel Remote Center of Motion (RCM) mechanisms for craniotomy surgery. His major contributions lie in addressing the physical demands of open skull surgeries, where the milling and cutting of bone can exhaust surgeons and increase error risk. Torabi’s most-cited paper, “Analysis, optimization and prototyping of a parallel RCM mechanism of a surgical robot for craniotomy surgery” (2017, 16 citations), introduces a novel robotic system to automate bone flap removal, enhancing precision and reducing surgeon fatigue. He further advances this work in “Workspace Measurement and Calibration of a Parallel RCM Craniotomy Surgery Robot” (2018, 2 citations), where he improves robot accuracy through forward kinematic calibration. While his citation counts are modest, Torabi’s research is impactful in the niche field of surgical robotics, offering practical solutions to improve patient outcomes and surgical efficiency. His work underscores a commitment to translating mechanical design into real-world clinical tools, making him a notable contributor to the advancement of robot-assisted neurosurgery.
