Newly promoted Dr. Giuseppe Del Giudice presented his Ph.D. dissertation defense successfully on June 22nd, 2021. His dissertation titled "Design, Modeling, and Control of Continuum Robots for Multi-Scale Motion and OCT-Guided Micro-Surgery" spans new advancements in the modeling and experimental evaluation of new continuum robots for microsurgery. These robots enable multi-scale manipulation (i.e. provide micro and macro scale motion) using the same architecture. Giuseppe also focused on closed-loop control of continuum robots using optical coherence tomography image feedback for visual servoing at the micro scale. Giuseppe has Joined Auris Healthcare - a division of Johnson &Johnson.
