About

Hamid Naghibi Beidokhti is a pioneering researcher in the field of soft robotics, with a specific focus on advancing minimally invasive surgery and endoscopic applications. His work centers on developing compliant, soft robotic systems that can safely interact with delicate human tissues, addressing critical challenges in surgical precision and patient outcomes. His most impactful contribution, the highly cited review "A review on recent advances in soft surgical robots for endoscopic applications" (134 citations), has become a foundational resource for the field, synthesizing key developments in actuation and sensing for medical devices. Naghibi Beidokhti has also made significant strides in creating realistic surgical training tools, such as a soft robotic phantom that simulates the dynamic respiratory motion of the human liver (10 citations), and a soft robotics diaphragm to model respiratory motion for improved liver cancer treatment. His work on modular pneumatic soft robotic endoscopes and flexible force-sensing modules for haptic feedback integration demonstrates a comprehensive approach to enhancing the safety and efficacy of teleoperated surgical systems. Through these innovations, Naghibi Beidokhti is helping to shape a new era of safer, more effective robotic surgery.
