About
Marius Siegfarth is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of additive manufacturing, medical robotics, and image-guided interventions. His work focuses on developing flexible, multi-material 3D-printed actuators and robotic systems designed specifically for the challenging environments of CT and MRI scanners. Siegfarth’s major contributions include the first systematic investigation of flexible 3D-printed materials for soft actuators in multimodal imaging (23 citations), and the creation of novel hydraulic actuators that combine rigid structures with flexible seals for medical robots. His most impactful work demonstrates how polymer multi-material additive manufacturing can produce miniature actuators compatible with X-ray and magnetic resonance environments. Siegfarth has also advanced robotic endoscopy by introducing electrorheological fluid-based hydraulic actuators, and developed a semi-automated robotic system for percutaneous interventions that balances manual and actuated operation within CT gantry constraints. His research consistently addresses the critical challenge of achieving both flexibility and stiffness in miniaturized surgical instruments, enabling safer, more precise minimally invasive procedures. With publications spanning from 2014 to 2024, Siegfarth’s work is foundational for the next generation of MRI-compatible, 3D-printed medical robots.
