About
Dr. S. M. Hadi Sadati is a pioneering roboticist whose research lies at the intersection of soft robotics, continuum manipulators, and medical devices. His major contributions include the development of TMTDyn, a widely adopted MATLAB package for modeling hybrid rigid–continuum robots (86 citations), and the creation of MAMMOBOT, one of the first millimeter-scale steerable soft growing robots designed for early breast cancer detection via mammary duct navigation (74 citations). Dr. Sadati has also advanced stiffness control in soft surgical manipulators using scale jamming, and developed geometry deformation models for braided continuum robots. His work on concentric tube robots has bridged theoretical modeling and clinical translation, while his physics-based models for eversion growing robots enable safe navigation in fragile biological environments. With over 460 cumulative citations across his top ten papers, Dr. Sadati’s research is characterized by a commitment to practical, user-friendly modeling tools and clinically translatable robotic systems. His notable achievements include contributions to optic nerve sheath fenestration using multi-arm continuum robots and bio-inspired whisker sensors for texture discrimination, demonstrating a remarkable breadth from fundamental mechanics to surgical applications.
