About

Dr. Akanksha Garg is a pioneering researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a primary focus on developing miniature in vivo robotic systems for minimally invasive procedures. Her most cited work, "Design and Development of In Vivo Robot for Biopsy" (2014), has garnered 22 citations and represents a significant contribution to surgical technology. In this seminal paper, Dr. Garg proposed a novel four-degree-of-freedom (DOF) robot manipulator designed as an add-on to existing endoscopes, dramatically enhancing dexterity and flexibility during biopsy procedures. This innovation addresses critical limitations in traditional endoscopic tools, enabling more precise tissue sampling with reduced patient trauma. Her research sits at the intersection of mechanical design, biomedical engineering, and clinical application, demonstrating how compact robotic systems can transform diagnostic and surgical capabilities. By creating a platform that seamlessly integrates with current medical devices, Dr. Garg's work has laid important groundwork for the next generation of in vivo surgical robots, offering a tangible pathway toward safer, more effective, and less invasive medical interventions.
