Robotics Lab receives Grant to Develop Insertable Cameras for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Peter Allen Computer Science and Dennis Fowler M.D, Surgery have received a 2 year $425K NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant for Insertable Imaging and Effector Platforms for Surgery. The grant is to construct small, mobile, multi-function platforms that can be placed inside a body cavity to perform robotic minimal access surgery. The robot will be based upon an existing prototype device developed at the Columbia Robotics Lab
