About

Manel Abbes is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of magnetic actuation, medical robotics, and targeted drug delivery. Her primary research focuses on developing innovative robotic platforms and magnetic systems to precisely navigate therapeutic agents within the human body, with a particular emphasis on challenging anatomical environments such as the inner ear. Abbes’s most notable contribution is the design of a novel permanent-magnet-based actuator for microrobotic navigation, which enables the controlled transport of magnetic boluses for targeted drug delivery—a concept with significant implications for treating localized diseases while minimizing systemic side effects. Her work on a robotized magnetic platform specifically for cochlear drug delivery (9 citations) and a novel remote-center-of-motion serial manipulator (2 citations) demonstrates her commitment to addressing the unique constraints of delicate inner ear structures. Additionally, her geometric approach to solving inverse kinematics for collaborative robots (3 citations) highlights her broader expertise in robot motion planning, essential for safe human-robot interaction in medical settings. With over 30 total citations, Abbes’s research is steadily gaining recognition for its potential to revolutionize minimally invasive therapies, making her a rising figure in the field of medical microrobotics.
