Development of a Precision Vascular Intervention Robot with Autonomous Instrument Navigation and Dynamic 3D Vascular Roadmap

Project Summary

• Development of a high-precision robot system that assists in neurovascular interventions, incorporating advanced AI-based technologies for dynamic 3D vascular roadmap and real-time autonomous surgical instrument navigation.

• Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and long term disabilities in both Korea and the US
• Cerebral aneurysm over 7mm are at high risk of rupture with potential devastating consequences, and early intervention is critical
• Neurovascular intervention is a highly complex procedure involving thin and complex vessels in the brain
• AI-assisted surgical robot system enables robust, efficient and safer practice compared to traditional manual procedure, thus leading to reduced procedure time, improved outcome, and fast recovery
