About
Amir Hossein Eskandari is pioneering the next generation of minimally invasive spinal surgery through biomechanics-aware robotic systems. His research centers on the design and control of steerable drilling robots, with a particular focus on addressing the critical challenge of spinal fixation failure in osteoporotic patients. Eskandari’s major contribution lies in integrating patient-specific finite element analysis directly into the mechanical design of surgical robots—a novel approach that bridges computational biomechanics with robotic actuation. His most influential work, “Towards Biomechanics-Aware Design of a Steerable Drilling Robot for Spinal Fixation Procedures with Flexible Pedicle Screws” (2023, 11 citations), introduces a concentric tube steerable drilling robot (CT-SDR) that adapts to bone quality in real time. Building on this, his 2024 paper (10 citations) proposes a complete robot-assisted framework with two unique modules for safer, more adaptive drilling. By replacing rigid instruments with flexible, biomechanically-informed tools, Eskandari’s work directly targets the screw loosening and pullout that plague current procedures. His research represents a significant step toward personalized, robot-assisted spinal surgery, promising reduced complication rates and improved outcomes for patients with compromised bone health.
