Da Vinci Surgical System
A robotic surgical system designed to facilitate complex surgery using a minimally invasive approach, and is controlled by a surgeon from a console.
CyberKnife
A non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body, which uses robotic-controlled stereotactic radiosurgery.
Autonomous Pharmacy Robots
Robots designed to dispense medication in hospitals, helping to improve efficiency and reduce medication errors.
Surgical Microbots
Miniature robots that can be controlled to perform precise operations within the body, such as clearing clogged arteries or assembling tissue and vessels.
Rehabilitation Robots
Robots that assist patients in rehab therapy to regain movement and function after strokes, injuries, or surgeries.
Capsule Endoscopy Robots
Tiny ingestible robots which, when swallowed, can take pictures or deliver drugs within the gastrointestinal tract.
Telepresence Robots
Robots which allow healthcare professionals to interact with patients remotely, providing consultations or monitoring without being physically present.
Robotic Prosthetics
Artificial limbs that offer enhanced movement and functionality, typically operated via electromyography sensors that detect muscle action potentials.
Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) Systems
CAS systems aid in planning, simulating and performing surgical procedures, providing precision, and reduced trauma.
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)
Portable electronic devices that automatically diagnose and treat life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias through defibrillation.
Biomedical Nanorobots
Molecular machines designed to operate in biological environments for medical purposes such as targeted drug delivery or molecular repairs.
Hospital Delivery Robots
Robots that autonomously transport supplies, medications, and lab specimens throughout hospitals to optimize workflow and reduce staff workload.
Medical Imaging Robots
Robots that assist radiologists by providing more precise control during imaging processes such as biopsies or in interventions using real-time imaging.
Blood-Draw Robots
Robots designed to automate the process of drawing blood, improving patient comfort, and decreasing procedure time.
Healthcare Companion Robots
Robots intended for social interaction to provide companionship, monitor health, and assist individuals, especially the elderly.
ROS (Robotic Operating System)
An open-source framework that provides the services required for developing complex and robust robotic applications, including those for medical uses.
Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery (MIRS)
Surgery performed with the help of robotic systems which requires only small incisions, leading to decreased healing time and less scarring.
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)
A technology that allows direct communication between the brain and an external device, often used to control prosthetic limbs or computers.
Robotic-Assisted Physical Therapy
Use of robotic devices to provide repetitive, controlled, and interactive therapy sessions, aiding in the recovery and rehabilitation of patients.
Laparoscopic Robots
Robots that enable surgeons to perform laparoscopic surgery with enhanced precision, such as with shorter instruments that translate the surgeon's motions.
Remote Surgery
A procedure where a human surgeon operates on a patient from a distance using robotic tools, allowing for specialist care over long distances.
Haptics in Medical Robotics
The technology that recreates the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, and motions to the user, guiding surgeons in robotic surgery.
Neurosurgical Robots
Robots specifically designed to assist with brain and spinal surgeries, providing increased precision, stability, and access to delicate areas.
Artificial Pancreas
A medical device that automatically monitors and adjusts blood glucose levels, mimicking the function of a healthy pancreas.
Precision Medicine
A medical approach that uses information about a person's genes, proteins, and environment to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease.
3D Bioprinting
The process of creating cell patterns using 3D printing technologies, where layer-by-layer placement of cells creates tissue-like structures.
Bionic Eyes
Electronic devices that replace the functionality of the retina to restore vision for those with certain types of blindness.
Wearable Health Monitors
Fitness and medical devices that are worn on the body and designed to collect personal health data.
Medical Drones
Unmanned aerial vehicles used for transporting medical supplies, blood, vaccines, and medical specimens in emergency and hard-to-reach areas.
