Autonomous drilling for robotic medical applications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ANDROMEDA project is developing a new autonomous robotic drilling technology for neurosurgery with the aim of increasing the precision, safety and efficiency of surgical procedures. Today's manual bone drilling techniques, especially in craniotomy, carry a number of challenges and risks, even for the most skilled surgeons. Limitations of human precision, physical fatigue and variability of procedures are additional reasons for the development of autonomous solutions.

This project conducts scientific research at the lowest Technology Readiness Level (TRL1), engineering design and laboratory validation (TRL4), with the aim of proving innovative concepts of robotic kinematic structures and advanced control models. The goal is to develop a system that controls force, duration and precise positioning of instruments during a surgical procedure.
