What we do

The HARMS lab leverages perceptually enabled methodologies, artificial intelligence, and frugal innovation in robotics (such as soft surgical robots) to deliver transformative solutions for diagnosis and treatment. Our research is driven by both problem-solving and curiosity, aiming to build a comprehensive understanding of the actions, interactions, and reactions occurring in the operating room. We focus on using robotic technologies to facilitate procedures that are not yet widely adopted, particularly in endoluminal surgery, such as advanced treatments for gastrointestinal cancer.

AB  - This paper introduces the CYCLOPS, a novel robotic tool for single-access and natural-orifice endoscopic surgery. Based on the concept of tendon-driven parallel robots, this highly original design gives the system some of its unique capabilities. Just to name a few, unparalleled force exertion capabilities of up to 65N, large and adjustable workspace, bimanual instrument triangulation. Due to the simplicity and nature of the design, the system could be adapted to an existing laparoscope or flexible endoscope. This promises a more immediate and accelerated route to clinical translation not only through endearing low-cost and adaptive features, but also by directly addressing several major barriers of existing designs.
