When even the most highly trained surgeons perform procedures on the retina—one of the smallest, most delicate parts of the human body—the stakes are high. Surgeons must account for patients’ breathing, snoring, and eye movements, along with their own involuntary hand tremors, while they work on a layer of cells less than a millimeter thick.
A team of UC Berkeley engineers from the Embodied Dexterity Group has developed a wearable device to enhance grasping functionality in this population. Dubbed the Dorsal Grasper, this assistive device leverages voluntary wrist extension and uses supernumerary robotic fingers on the back of the hand to facilitate human-robot collaborative grasping.
Stereotaxis (NYSE:STXS) said today that it has secured CE mark approval for its Magic robotically-navigated magnetic ablation catheter.
Biobot Surgical announced today that it received CE mark for its Mona Lisa 2.0 surgical robotic platform for urology applications.
TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BAIBYS™, a pioneering Israeli startup in AI-powered micro-robotics for Artificial Reproductive Technology (ART), today announced it has received the CE mark for its innovative BAIBYS™ system.
Robeauté announced today that it raised $28 million to support the development of its neurosurgical microrobot technology.
Andromeda Surgical announced that a surgeon in Chile performed a robotic-assisted holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) with its platform.
Infertility affects an estimated 186 million people worldwide, with fallopian tube obstruction contributing to 11–67% of female infertility cases. In AIP Advances researchers at the SIAT Magnetic Soft Microrobots Lab have developed an innovative solution using a magnetically driven robotic microscrew to treat fallopian tube blockages.
A research team led by Prof. Kim So-hee from the Department of Robotics and Mechanical Electronics, DGIST, has developed a technology that enables precise brain stimulation using a coil small enough to be implanted in the body. It is expected to be utilized as an electronic medicine for brain neurological disorders that require long-term treatment due to its ability to significantly improve safety and effectiveness with fewer side effects compared to existing technologies.
A pivotal study of the robotic platform in colorectal surgery will begin at five hospitals in early 2025.
