About
Laurence Meylheuc is a researcher specializing in the design of robotic systems and force-sensing technologies for interventional radiology and orthopedic surgery. Her work centers on developing innovative tools that enhance the precision and safety of minimally invasive procedures, particularly needle insertion and bone cement injection for vertebroplasty. A key contribution is the design and modeling of a polymer-based force sensor tailored for robotized medical applications, addressing critical constraints such as MRI compatibility. Her research has produced over 45 citations, with her most influential work, "Design and Modeling of a Polymer Force Sensor" (2015), receiving 11 citations. Meylheuc has also advanced robotic systems for high-pressure bone cement injection, enabling remote operation at up to 140 bar to improve polymerization control and reduce leakage risks. Her notable achievements include the development of needle grasping devices and thermal control systems for cement injection, all aimed at protecting clinicians from radiation exposure while improving procedural outcomes. Through her interdisciplinary approach, Meylheuc continues to push the boundaries of medical robotics, making procedures safer and more effective for both practitioners and patients.
