Surgical Robotics Lab
The Surgical Robotics Lab at University of Twente focuses on developing robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery and targeted therapy. Led by Sarthak Misra, the lab has received ERC Starting Grants and develops biologically-inspired microrobots for surgical applications. Research includes magnetic control of microjets and self-propelled microrobots for image-guided procedures.
Notable achievements
