Today, La Vanguardia (left) and Interempresas.net report that Rob Surgical Systems, the IBEC/UPC spin-off company, has started validating its Bitrack Surgical Robot System for minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. Aiming to address the current shortcomings of laparoscopic surgery, the robot has been designed under the technical direction of Dr. Josep Amat (UPC) and Alicia Casals’ Robotics group (IBEC), with medical direction from Dr. Javier Magriña from Arizona’s Mayo Clinic, an expert in Da Vinci surgical robots.
The goal of our research is to gain a deeper understanding of cellular and respiratory biomechanics to improve the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases. The work is organized in … Read more
