Research

Advances in medicine have increased the demand for highly accurate micro-robotic devices and surgical systems. These tools enhance the abilities of the operator and permit procedures that might not be possible otherwise. The success and functionality of these tools depend on the accuracy and physical size of the embedded sensors and actuators. The long-term goal of the research program is to develop the next generation of automated biomedical research and surgical tools that enable the user to perform difficult tasks more accurately and more efficiently.
