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
Single Camera Prototype Imaging Device
