About
Andrew H. Gosline is a leading figure in the design and application of continuum robots for minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on concentric tube robots and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) tools. His work has fundamentally advanced the ability to perform precise, beating-heart and neuro-endoscopic procedures through tiny incisions. Gosline pioneered the optimization of concentric tube robots—catheter-sized devices made from pre-curved superelastic tubes—to navigate complex 3D paths within confined anatomical spaces, as detailed in his highly cited 2015 paper (173 citations). He also developed innovative metal MEMS tools for tissue removal and approximation during percutaneous, beating-heart surgery, achieving micron-scale precision in millimeter-scale instruments (96 citations). His research integrates robot design, tooling, and procedural planning to enable reconstructive intracardiac interventions without cardiopulmonary bypass. Notably, Gosline has also contributed soft sensing technologies that simultaneously measure contact angle and force at the tool-tissue interface, enhancing haptic feedback in surgical robots. With over 450 total citations, his work continues to shape the future of robotic-assisted surgery, making complex procedures safer and more accessible.
