Several key technologies are developed thanks to SPIRITS for interventional radiology and more generally for hybrid image-guided surgery:
 |
3D Printing of multimaterial polymer structures for the design of highly-integrated robotic structures. Picture on the left represents a proof-of-concept developed at ICube-INSA Strasbourg (©ICUBE). |
 |
Hydraulic actuation to build compact and efficient actuated tools in the medical environment. Picture on the left represents CAD designs of hydraulically-driven surgical tools introduced by UMM, compatible with surgical applications in terms of size and force generation (©UMM). |
| File:Hfu tech.jpg | Tactile transducer design and manufacturing using MEMS technology. Picture on the left describes the multi-scale design of tactile transducer as developed by HFU (©UMM). |
 |
3D printing of Ti and NiTi . Complex metal alloys can be produced by FHNW with control of microstructure and material properties. Picture on the left represent sample parts obtained using in-house equipments of FHNW (©FHNW). |
 |
Instrumented surgical tools . Integration of optical technologies in surgical tools opens the way to precision increase in robotised tasks for medical application. Picture on the left represents proofs- (©FHNW). |
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.
- Tactile feedback technology for providing new information to the radiologist.
