The Eye RHAS is a breakthrough in Dutch Robotics for vitreoretinal eye surgery. It allows the surgeon to feel the same pressures the robot enacts upon the patient, minimizing risk of injury during the surgery. The machine also replaces the steady human…
The PITON is the first steerable MRI compatible robotics instrument. This Dutch robotics project is a needle that is equipped with sensors that will pick up signals for the surrounding tissue. This will enable the robot to find the best way to administer…
Robotics endoscopy manipulation can be a significant asset to doctors. It allows them to improve the efficiency and precision of the endoscopy. The physician will use a remote control connected to the drive system of the robotic endoscope. Most doctors…
Robot Needle Steering has the potential to increase needle control and decrease the likelihood of invasive wounds. Recent studies on robot guided needles show there are large advantages to be gained; however, there are also problems that must be worked…
