About
Minou Kouh Soltani is a leading researcher in soft robotics and medical mechatronics, with a focus on developing advanced control systems for minimally invasive surgical tools. Her work centers on the design and control of tendon-driven catheters, where she pioneered a nonlinear hybrid position/force control framework that enables precise, compliant manipulation in constrained anatomical environments. This approach addresses critical challenges in catheter-based interventions, such as maintaining safe contact forces while achieving accurate positioning—a key advancement for procedures like cardiac ablation and neurovascular surgery. Her most-cited paper, "A soft robotics nonlinear hybrid position/force control for tendon driven catheters" (2017), has garnered 25 citations, reflecting its foundational role in bridging soft robotics principles with clinical applications. Soltani’s contributions are notable for integrating continuum mechanics, nonlinear control theory, and practical surgical constraints, offering a pathway toward safer, more autonomous robotic tools. Her work continues to influence the next generation of flexible medical devices, with potential to reduce procedural risks and improve patient outcomes in interventional medicine.
