About
Aziza Ben Halima is a leading researcher in medical robotics, with a focused expertise in developing robotic systems for prostate brachytherapy—a key treatment for early-stage cancer. Her major contributions center on enhancing the precision and safety of radioactive seed implantation, a procedure traditionally limited by manual inaccuracy and associated side effects. She pioneered the design of a co-manipulated robot featuring a 6 Degrees of Freedom architecture with an integrated gravity compensation system, significantly improving needle placement accuracy. Her work on the optimization and validation of this co-manipulated robot has been critical in translating robotic solutions from concept to clinical readiness, addressing the stringent requirements of the operating room. Through detailed kinematic analysis and design of a delta robot configuration, she has advanced the field of comanipulation for medical applications. With her most-cited papers accumulating over 15 citations, Ben Halima’s research is establishing a new standard for robotic-assisted brachytherapy, promising to reduce side effects and expand the use of advanced treatment procedures for prostate cancer patients.
