About
Marta Cocco is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and interventional medicine, with a primary focus on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques. Her most notable contribution is the development and clinical translation of robotic systems for endovascular procedures, specifically targeting the precise control of guidewires—a critical tool in catheter-based interventions. In her landmark 2022 study, "Robotic Control of a 0.035-Inch Guidewire: Initial Feasibility and First-in-Human Experience," Cocco demonstrated the first successful robotic manipulation of a standard guidewire in a human patient, marking a significant step toward reducing radiation exposure and improving procedural accuracy. This work, though early in its citation impact, has laid foundational groundwork for next-generation robotic platforms in interventional radiology and cardiology. Her research addresses key challenges in haptic feedback, miniaturization, and real-time control, positioning her as a rising leader in medical robotics. Cocco’s achievements underscore a commitment to translating engineering innovations into tangible clinical benefits, with potential to reshape how complex vascular interventions are performed globally.
