About
Somayeh Norouzi‐Ghazbi is a leading researcher in the modeling and control of continuum robots, with a particular focus on their application in minimally invasive surgery. Her work centers on the key challenges of dynamic modeling, system identification, and visual servoing for these flexible, tendon-driven devices. A major contribution is her development of constrained and depth-based visual predictive control methods, which address critical issues in image-based visual servoing such as singularities and camera retreat, enabling more reliable autonomous control. Her research on cooperative continuum robots (CCRs) is also notable, providing foundational Jacobian formulations and switching control strategies for multi-robot systems. With her most-cited paper, "Constrained visual predictive control of tendon-driven continuum robots," accumulating 32 citations, and several others exceeding 20 citations, her impact is clear. She has also advanced the practical application of these systems through the design and experimental evaluation of automated catheter operating systems. Her work, including her doctoral thesis, systematically tackles the inverse kinematics of concentric tube robots under environmental constraints, solidifying her reputation as a key innovator in surgical robotics.
