About

D. Moschella is a pioneering researcher in the field of surgical robotics and mechatronic systems, with a primary focus on developing intelligent navigation assistants for orthopaedic surgery. His most significant contribution is the conceptualization and development of Navi-Robot, a novel self-balancing navigation system that can autonomously lock itself into precise positions to guide surgical tools during orthopaedic procedures. This innovative instrument, essentially a goniometric device with three articulated arms, represents a breakthrough in surgical assistance technology by combining navigation capabilities with robotic functionality. Moschella's work extends to experimental validation of specialized mechanical components, including a novel locking drum brake for robotic applications that exploits self-excitation principles based on the Reye assumption on wear. His research has accumulated citations across multiple publications from 2003 to 2008, demonstrating sustained interest in his contributions to surgical robotics. The Navi-Robot project showcases Moschella's ability to bridge theoretical mechanics with practical surgical applications, offering a vision of safer, more precise orthopaedic procedures through intelligent robotic assistance.
