Grant: Canada Research Chairs
The University of Western Ontario
$200,000.00
Advanced Robotics and Control
FY 2023-24
Summary
This proposal is concerned with the design and implementation of innovative
medical robotic and other mechatronic systems. The research is multidisciplinary
and involves collaboration with clinicians, medical imaging experts and industry
partners. The overarching objective is to make medical robotics-based procedures
more efficient, safer and cost-effective. The primary focus is on innovations in three
areas: (a) technology based on a class of continuum robots called concentric-tube
robots; (b) autonomous systems for surgical training and skills assessment; and (c)
robotics-based rehabilitation for post-stroke movement impairment. The research will
lead to important advances in healthcare and engineering with significant
commercialization potential.
