We will develop a system where

  • Smart needles are used to image the tissue and sense forces
    at the needle tip
  • Physician performs insertion in collaboration with the robot
  • The robot performs force-feedback of information at the
    needle tip making them sensible and palpable

"We put the physician's finger at the needle tip"

You are a highly motivated and excellent student and we will give you the possibility to gather unique experiences during the development of an innovative medical system. Apply for a student job, thesis or participate in our courses:
