What we do
The Mechatronics in Medicine Laboratory develops robotic and mechatronics surgical systems for a variety of procedures including neuro, cardiovascular, orthopaedic surgeries, and colonoscopies. Examples include bio-inspired catheters that can navigate along complex paths within the brain (such as EDEN2020), soft robots to explore endoluminal anatomies (such as the colon), and virtual reality solutions to support surgeons during knee replacement surgeries.

The Acrobot (R) system for total knee replacement
, Ind Robot, Vol: 30, Pages: 61-66, ISSN: 0143-991XA "hands-on" robotic system for total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is presented. Computed tomography (CT) based software is used to accurately plan the procedure pre-operatively. Intra-operatively, the surgeon guides a small, special-purpose robot, called Acrobot(R), which is mounted on a gross positioning device. The Acrobot uses active constraint control, which constrains the motion to a pre-defined region, and thus allows the surgeon to safely cut the knee bones to fit a TKR prosthesis with high precision. A non-invasive anatomical registration method is used. The system has undergone early clinical trials with very promising outcomes.

The hands-on orthopaedic robot "Acrobot": Early clinical trials of total knee replacement surgery
, Ieee T Robotic Autom, Vol: 19, Pages: 902-911, ISSN: 1042-296XA "hands-on" robotic system for total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is presented. A computer tomography-based preoperative planning software is used to accurately plan the procedure. Intraoperatively, the surgeon guides a small special-purpose robot, called Acrobot, which is mounted on a gross positioning device. The Acrobot uses active constraint control, which constrains the motion to a predefined region, and thus allows the surgeon to safely cut the knee bones to fit a TKR prosthesis with high precision. A noninvasive anatomical registration method is described. The system has been successfully used in seven clinical trials with encouraging results.
