About
Abdelrahman Hosney is a pioneering researcher in the field of medical microrobotics, with a primary focus on developing magnetically actuated helical robots for minimally invasive vascular interventions. His most significant contribution lies in the in vitro validation of using helical microrobots to mechanically grind and clear clogged blood vessels, a breakthrough that demonstrated the potential for targeted thrombus removal without traditional surgery. In this landmark 2016 study, Hosney and his team successfully steered 300 μm-diameter helical robots through catheter segments using rotating magnetic fields of 20 mT, achieving precise mechanical clot disruption. His earlier 2014 work established foundational control methodologies for these devices, introducing a novel magnetic system with two synchronized rotating permanent magnets to mitigate unwanted forces during radial steering. This research has garnered over 55 citations, reflecting its importance in advancing the practical application of microrobots in medicine. Hosney’s work on magnetic motion control and in vivo validation represents a critical step toward translating microrobotic technologies from laboratory concepts to clinical tools for treating cardiovascular diseases.
