This project focuses on research on a chirurgical telemanipulation robotic system (user side) suitable for intuitive control of the next generation chirurgical instruments for minimal-invasive surgery. The high-tech SME DEMCON is the coordinator. Technical Medicine and Mechanical Engineering (WA, DPM) are partners.
The UT-CTIT PhD candidate (Maarten Bezemer) concentrates on networked control software, and safe robotic software architectures.
The UT-MIRA PhD candidate (Rob Reilink) concentrates on control strategies using haptic interfaces.
The following PhD theses have been published on this topic:
