Project objectives and results
The main goal of the RONNA project is to develop a modern system of robotic neuronavigation from an experimental research robotic station into a highly technologically commercialized product for performing neurosurgical operations.
The general goal of the RONNA project is to increase the added value and competitiveness of the robotic system for application in neurosurgery through cooperation between the public higher education institution and the business sector and to encourage the commercialization of research results.
The RONNA robotic system for use in neurosurgery, developed at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in cooperation with the Clinical Hospital Dubrava, consists of two robotic arms with a total of 13 degrees of freedom. Robots are able to perform various surgical procedures with the accuracy in accordance with the requirements of neurosurgical practice or better. RONNA's two-hand neurosurgical system enables flexible and reliable application, based on an intelligent control system that ensures intuitive interaction with the surgical team and new practical capabilities in relation to existing surgical robot solutions. The result of the project is a product brought to a commercial level through the improvement of equipment necessary for further research, design and production services of the external appearance of the robotic station, optimization of the program part, conducted clinical trials and promotion of products. The project contributed positively to the most medical staff, to the users of the public health system, scientists and experts participating in the project, and employees of partner entrepreneurs.
The objectives of this research and development project were directed towards modern requirements in manufacturing, where traditional automation and human work need to be replaced by flexible, versatile and adaptive robotic systems. The result of the project are developed agents which continuously apply active perception, learning, planning and collaboration, constantly redefining knowledge and implicitly programmed algorithms, implementing a kind of cognitive characteristics. The cognitive framework is based on perception (cameras, sensors, force and moments sensors, touch sensors, etc.), learning and agent architecture.
