Medical Faculty Mannheim at University Heidelberg hosts the Project Group for Automation in Medicine and Biotechnology (PAMB) of Fraunhofer at the Medical Faculty Mannheim, University Heidelberg. It develops new concepts for automation in medicine and biotechnology. It benefits from close cooperation with SIEMENS regarding image guided surgery, with the “Forschungskampus” M²OLIE, a huge research initiative in Mannheim on the needle treatment of till now untreatable tumors. UMM develops for more than 5 years hydraulic drives for medical applications. The partner UMM is headed by Dr. Jan Stallkamp, Chair of automation in medicine and biotechnology at the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg, and leading the Fraunhofer PAMB.
The SPIRITS project benefits from the implantation of PAMB at CUBEX, on the campus of the University Medical Centre Mannheim. This innovative competence centre offers the chance to work very close to local medical partners, and access the intervention room of the future and the Biomedical Innovation Lab.

250px | Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne is a leading technological university with global reach. The institution is represented by Instant-Lab, lead by Prof. S. Henein, created in 2012. In its Medtech activities, the Instant-Lab specializes on design, actuation, fabrication and control of surgical tools using smart material and flexible structure based mechanisms, and therefore create ‘intelligent’ tools that are notably able to measure tool tip interaction with the environment. Its expertise on intelligent tools, their design, fabrication and integration is being unique at the European level, and absent from the RMT Upper Rhine area. The partner EPFL is headed by Dr. C. Baur, the Instant Lab Medtech group director. He has successfully launched several startups / spin offs to turn technology into products : ForceDimension (haptic Feedback System), Atracsys (Navigation System & User interfaces). KB Medical (Surgical Robot for Spinal Surgery) can be mentioned.
The SPIRITS project benefits from the EPFL infrastructure in Lausanne as well as in Neuchâtel, with Microcity, the EPFL Microtechnology centre Instant-Lab. With experimental rooms and facilities to fabricate and characterize surgical devices. |
