About
Alexis Bozorg Grayeli is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical robotics, otology, and minimally invasive medical technologies, with a career dedicated to transforming the precision and outcomes of ear surgery. His most significant contributions center on the design and development of robotic systems for middle ear and inner ear procedures — among the most technically demanding surgeries in medicine, requiring submillimetric precision on the human body's smallest and most fragile structures. Grayeli's landmark work includes the development of RobOtol, a teleoperated robotic platform for middle ear microsurgery, which has accumulated over 36 citations, alongside a related series of publications on its kinematic optimization and clinical evaluation that together represent a cohesive and influential body of research. His 2018 work on macro-micromanipulation for inner ear drug delivery (44 citations) stands as his most impactful contribution, extending robotic assistance into cochlear therapeutics. More recently, his CochleRob project explores magnetic actuation to navigate drug-carrying nanoparticles into the cochlea for treating hearing loss. With additional forays into augmented reality for ear surgery and endoscopic approaches, Grayeli consistently bridges engineering innovation with clinical application, making him a distinctive and forward-thinking voice in surgical robotics research.
