Surgical Robots
Steerable meso-scale robots for neurosurgery and endovascular intervention.
Overview
Minimally invasive surgery demands dexterity at millimeter scale. During and after his time at Georgia Tech, Prof. Jeong developed steerable surgical robots including the COAST guidewire robot for endovascular intervention, robotically steerable catheters for mitral valve implant delivery, and meso-scale continuum tools for pediatric neurosurgery.
