Several key technologies are developed thanks to SPIRITS for interventional radiology and more generally for hybrid image-guided surgery:

  • 3D printing technologies and their combination. Multimaterial polymer production and metal printing are being considered for manufacturing of robotic technology.
  • Hydraulic actuation and compliant mechanisms. Their combination is considered to design efficient robotic structures.
  • Instrumented surgical tools for precision increase in robotised tasks.
  • Tactile feedback technology for providing new information to the radiologist.
