About
Laure Esteveny is a leading researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a primary focus on developing robotic assistance systems for delicate ophthalmic and interventional procedures. Her most significant contributions center on robot-assisted retinal vein cannulation, a promising but technically demanding treatment for retinal vein occlusion. Esteveny’s work has been pivotal in demonstrating the feasibility of this procedure, achieving over 65 citations for her landmark *in vivo* porcine model study. She has advanced the field by integrating combined OCT distance and FBG force sensing into cannulation needles, enabling unprecedented precision and safety during microsurgery. Beyond ophthalmology, Esteveny has made notable contributions to MRI-compatible robotics, designing cable-driven manipulators for prostate cryoablation that address the severe constraints of the MRI environment. Her research on intrinsically safe actuation technologies for physical human-robot interaction further underscores her commitment to clinical translation. With over 200 total citations across her most-cited works, Esteveny’s innovations are shaping the next generation of robotic tools for high-stakes, minimally invasive interventions.
