About
Mahsa Rabiei is at the forefront of robotic systems for medical interventions and additive manufacturing. Her research centers on developing intelligent robotic tools for minimally invasive prostate cancer procedures, including targeted biopsy and brachytherapy. In her most cited work, she introduced a novel bidirectional robotic tool for prostate biopsy, featuring a compliant flexure section that enables precise needle manipulation and operator control—a design that has garnered 11 citations. She further advanced this technology with teleoperated and automated control strategies, demonstrating significant potential for improving cancer detection accuracy while reducing unnecessary biopsies. Rabiei’s impact extends beyond medicine; she has also made notable contributions to construction robotics, developing a real-time pressure-based closed-loop feedback control system to address material uncertainty in robotic concrete additive manufacturing. This work, published in 2025, tackles geometric fidelity challenges in extrusion-based 3D printing, achieving 5 citations. Her portable robot for prostate brachytherapy, which integrates active needle steering and robot-assisted ultrasound tracking, further underscores her commitment to translating robotic precision into clinical practice. With a growing citation record and interdisciplinary reach, Rabiei is shaping the future of both surgical robotics and automated construction.
