About

Sajad Salmanipour is a leading researcher in the field of magnetic actuation for medical robotics, with a focus on developing wireless, minimally invasive surgical tools. His most cited work introduces a novel, cable-less, magnetically driven forceps for minimally invasive surgery, which decouples tool actuation from the surgical system to enhance dexterity in hard-to-reach anatomical locations—a contribution that has garnered 48 citations. He further advanced the field by demonstrating eight-degrees-of-freedom remote actuation of small magnetic mechanisms, enabling precise control of micrometer-to-millimeter-scale devices for medical and microfluidic applications (43 citations). Salmanipour also designed multi-degrees-of-freedom microrobots driven by homogeneous quasi-static magnetic fields, addressing challenges in remote actuation for subcentimeter-scale devices (26 citations). His earlier work on teleoperation of mobile robots with model-predictive obstacle avoidance control showcases his broader expertise in autonomous navigation. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 120, Salmanipour’s innovations in magnetic actuation are paving the way for next-generation, wireless surgical instruments and microrobots, offering transformative potential for minimally invasive procedures and microfactory applications.
