About
Andria A. Remirez is a leading researcher in medical robotics, specializing in continuum robots for minimally invasive surgery. Her work focuses on developing flexible, needle-sized robotic systems that can navigate the body’s complex, confined spaces—particularly for lung cancer diagnosis and treatment. Her landmark paper, “Toward Transoral Peripheral Lung Access,” has garnered 58 citations and introduces a novel combination of continuum robots and steerable needles to reach peripheral lung nodules transorally, reducing the risk of lung collapse compared to percutaneous methods. She further advanced this concept in her work on a three-robot system integrating tendons, concentric tubes, and a bevel tip. Remirez has also made significant contributions to closed-loop control of soft continuum manipulators (57 citations) and to multi-arm concentric tube robots for transnasal surgery of orbital tumors (56 citations). Her research extends to robotic intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation and image-guided partial nephrectomy, demonstrating a broad impact across surgical specialties. With over 300 total citations, her work is shaping the future of safe, precise, and less invasive surgical interventions.
