About

Mirela Cherciu is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of medical robotics and risk management engineering. Her key contributions focus on enhancing the safety and reliability of robotic systems used in healthcare, particularly through the application of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). In her most cited work, "Application of the FMEA Concept to Medical Robotic System" (2015), Cherciu systematically deconstructs a robotic arm into its components and functions to identify all foreseeable potential defects, their causes, and their effects. This proactive approach to risk assessment is critical for the design and manufacturing of safe medical devices. While her citation count of 4 reflects a specialized, early-stage contribution, the paper’s methodology is foundational for engineers seeking to preemptively mitigate failures in complex medical robotics. Cherciu’s work demonstrates a rigorous, preventive engineering mindset, bridging the gap between theoretical risk analysis and practical, life-critical applications. Her research serves as a valuable reference for students and professionals aiming to integrate systematic safety protocols into the development of next-generation medical robotic systems.
