…automated surgery is progressing. A team of researchers at Johns Hopkins University yesterday announced that the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot, or STAR, has performed laparoscopic surgery on the soft tissue of a pig without human guidance. The researchers described their work in Science Robotics. “Our findings show that we can automate one of the most intricate and delicate tasks in surgery: the reconnection of two ends of an intestine,” said Axel Krieger, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Johns Hopkins' Whiting School of Engineering and senior author. “The STAR performed the procedure in four animals and it produced significantly…

…surgeons relief from tremors and fatigue and increasing precision. Johns Hopkins research goes to market Founded in 2016, Galen Robotics is commercializing surgical robotics research at Johns Hopkins University in combination with big data analytics from Silicon Valley. The company moved from San Jose, Calif., to Baltimore shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic. “Dr. Russell Taylor, whose IP [intellectual property] is at the core of a lot of surgical robotics, runs the lab at Johns Hopkins,” said Dave Saunders, co-founder and chief technology officer of Galen Robotics. “Doctors asked for robots for complex, soft-tissue procedures, which gave rise to a Ph.D.…

…Ohio-based startup is a spinout of robotics research from Johns Hopkins University. Kel Guerin was a Ph.D. candidate there leading this research when he partnered with Benjamin Gibbs, who was at Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures. They obtained funding and lanched READY Robotics, now led by Gibbs as CEO. “There was this 'a-ha' moment where we figured out that we could take these types of visual languages that are very easy to understand and use them for robotics,” stated Guerin, who is now chief innovation officer at the company. ForgeOS supports third-party apps READY Robotics said its “no-code” operating system is…

…robot used to perform soft tissue laparoscopic surgery At John Hopkins University, researchers have deployed a smart tissue autonomous robot (STAR) that performed a laparoscopic surgery on a pig. The event is a precursor to what's possible for humans: soft tissue surgery performed by a robot. Surgeons require years of practice to become skilled at performing this type of surgery. It involves connecting two ends of an intestine. It is a challenging procedure, perhaps one of the most challenging in gastrointestinal surgery. Normally, a surgeon sutures the intestinal tissues with precision, being careful to do so without causing infection. There's…
