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.
