About
Bennet Hensen is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of medical robotics and interventional radiology, with a primary focus on developing MRI-compatible robotic systems for minimally invasive procedures. His work addresses the critical challenge of performing precise interventions within the confined and magnetically sensitive environment of MRI scanners. Hensen's major contributions include the design of ultra-light micropositioning robotics (μRIGS) and soft robotic actuators that leverage switchable strain-limiting structures for tumor biopsy and ablation, enabling real-time image guidance without compromising MRI functionality. He has also advanced haptic feedback systems for cable-driven medical robots, allowing for sensorless, teleoperated needle-based interventions that enhance surgeon performance and patient outcomes. Notably, his systematic literature review on touchless interaction in interventional radiology and surgery has garnered over 100 citations, underscoring its foundational impact. Hensen's innovative use of anthropomorphic phantoms to mimic respiratory-triggered organ movement further demonstrates his commitment to reducing reliance on costly clinical trials and animal testing. With a growing portfolio of high-impact publications, Hensen is shaping the future of MRI-guided interventions, making them safer, more precise, and more accessible.
