About
Chiara Mirabelli is a rising force in surgical robotics, specializing in the design of hyper-redundant, continuum manipulators for minimally invasive neurosurgery. Her most cited work, “Design and Experimental Validation of a 3D-Printed Embedded-Sensing Continuum Robot for Neurosurgery” (2023, 10 citations), introduces a tendon-driven robot that achieves precise tip control through embedded sensing modules. By integrating 3D-printed structures with a Bo-based force transmission system, Mirabelli’s design enables independent control of tilt and pan bending angles—a critical advancement for navigating the confined, delicate pathways of the brain. This work not only demonstrates a novel approach to hyper-redundant kinematics but also validates the feasibility of low-cost, customizable surgical tools. Though early in her career, her contributions are already shaping the next generation of smart, sensor-rich surgical instruments, promising safer and more dexterous interventions in neurosurgery and beyond.
