About
Dr. Coley Chapman is a rising leader in the field of surgical robotics, with a focused expertise in the design and modeling of miniature continuum robots for minimally invasive neurosurgery. Their most notable contribution is the development of a sub-2 mm steerable neuroendoscopic grasping tool, a breakthrough that addresses the critical challenge of integrating dexterous end-effectors with highly compliant surgical robots. This work, published in 2023 and already garnering 9 citations, directly enhances the safety and efficacy of procedures like endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) by enabling precise tissue manipulation within the brain's delicate ventricular system. Dr. Chapman’s research bridges the gap between continuum robot kinematics and practical surgical tool design, providing foundational models for future ultra-miniature instruments. Their achievements represent a significant step toward more capable, less invasive neurosurgical interventions, promising to improve patient outcomes in complex cranial procedures.
