About

Amr Marzuq is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical robotics and soft actuation systems. His work spans two transformative fields: developing precision robotic assistants for neurosurgery and advancing compact actuation technologies for wearable robotics. In 2019, Marzuq introduced a novel 5 Degree-of-Freedom robotic assistant system designed specifically for craniotomy and brain tumor biopsy procedures—a contribution that addresses the critical challenges of force management and precision in time-consuming open skull surgeries. This work has garnered 6 citations, establishing a foundation for safer, more efficient neurosurgical interventions. More recently, in 2025, Marzuq achieved a breakthrough in soft robotics with his development of a compact, self-recovering wire electrode electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pump. This innovation overcomes the longstanding limitations of McKibben artificial muscles—namely their reliance on bulky, noisy pneumatic pumps—by enabling silent, high-speed actuation in a miniaturized form factor. With 3 citations already, this work promises to accelerate the adoption of soft robotic systems in wearable and assistive devices. Marzuq’s dual focus on surgical precision and soft actuation positions him as a versatile innovator whose work bridges critical gaps in both medical robotics and human-machine interaction.
