Medical Bay

The Medical Bay explores how robots used to improve patient health outcomes. The bay has a working da Vinci surgical robot as well as a testbed for tiny magnetically-controlled robots.

Demos

Delivering medicine to a precise location using ultrasound-guided release for targeted treatment.

Long-distance teleoperation of an ultrasound device with haptic feedback, allowing remote users to feel and control the procedure in real-time.

An experience demonstrating the power of using soft robotics in conjunction with a classic robotic arm to perform care tasks, such as bathing.

Amphibious magnetic origami millirobot that uses spinning locomotion to navigate both on ground and in water environments.

The magnetic milli-spinner navigates through blood vessels using imaging-guided robotic control, showing potential as an untethered medical device for treating vascular diseases.
