Technologies clés

Plusieurs technologies clés seront développées grâce au projet SPIRITS pour la radiologie interventionnelle et plus généralement pour la chirurgie guidée par l'image :

L'impression 3D de structures polymères multimatériaux pour la conception de structures robotiques à haut niveau d'intégration. La figure de gauche représente une preuve de concept développée par INSA Strasbourg - ICube (©ICUBE).

Tactile transducer design and manufacturing using MEMS technology, with hydrostatic design for efficient feedback. Picture on the left describes the multi-scale design of tactile transducer as developed by HFU (©HFU).

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).

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 micro-surgery tool with embedded force sensor to improve tissue manipulation (©EPFL).
