Robot-assisted microsurgery (RAMS) has many benefits compared to traditional
microsurgery. Microsurgical platforms with advanced control strategies, high-quality micro …

We demonstrate five-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) wireless magnetic control of a fully
untethered microrobot (3-DOF position and 2-DOF pointing orientation). The microrobot can …

Insertion into delicate tissue, such as retina vein occlusion, cell manipulation, and
vitreoretinal injection, poses challenges to surgeons and biomedical researchers due to the …

Magnetic fields have the potential to noninvasively direct and focus therapy to disease
targets. External magnets can apply forces on drug-coated magnetic nanoparticles, or on …

Delta robots have been widely used in industrial contexts for pick-and-place applications
because of their high precision and speed. These qualities are also desirable at the …

This paper describes research in active instruments for enhanced accuracy in microsurgery.
The aim is to make accuracy enhancement as transparent to the surgeon as possible …

This paper describes the development and initial testing of a new and optimized version of a
steady-hand manipulator for retinal microsurgery. In the steady-hand paradigm, the surgeon …

Retinal disorders, including age-related macular degeneration, are leading causes of vision
loss worldwide. New treatments, such as gene therapies and stem cell regeneration, require …

Purpose The aim of this study is to develop a novel robotic surgical platform, the IRISS
(Intraocular Robotic Interventional and Surgical System), capable of performing both anterior …

Purpose To develop a methodology for cannulating porcine retinal venules using a robotic
assistive arm after inducing a retinal vein occlusion using the photosensitizer rose bengal …
