About

Mohammad Salehizadeh is a leading researcher in the field of small-scale robotics, with a primary focus on the design, control, and coordination of magnetic microrobots for biomedical applications. His most impactful contribution is the development of millimeter-scale flexible robots with programmable three-dimensional magnetization, a breakthrough published in 2019 that has garnered 682 citations. This work enables these tiny robots to rapidly transform into complex 3D shapes and achieve sophisticated locomotion, directly addressing critical challenges in drug delivery and object manipulation. Salehizadeh has also pioneered methods for the independent control of multiple magnetic microrobots in three dimensions, a feat previously hindered by their mutual magnetic interactions. His work on parallel pick-and-place operations using untethered microgrippers and path planning for underactuated multi-robot systems further demonstrates his expertise in advancing microrobotic coordination and autonomy. Extending his impact to clinical settings, he has contributed to the Galen Surgical Robot, an admittance-controlled collaborative system designed to enhance precision and stability in microsurgery. Through these innovations, Salehizadeh has established himself as a key figure in pushing the boundaries of what is possible with microscale robotic systems.
