Researchers German, Italian, Israeli and British benefiting from EU funds have made a breakthrough in (Matter is the substance that makes up any body having a tangible reality. The three most common states are solid, liquid, gaseous state. ... She is) neurosurgical robot. The project (a project - in a professional context - a temporary adventure company in order to create a unique product or service:) Robocast has developed a new type of robot that has two major advantages for surgeons: 13 degrees (types) of freedom, against the four that were mastered by human hands during a minimally invasive surgery, and the "force feedback", ie the physical signals allowing the surgeon to assess and collect tissue the intensity of the pressure (The pressure is the force exerted on a given surface.) applied during the operation. This robot has performed endoscopic neurosurgery accurate models. Once ready for operations on humans, it could alleviate the suffering of millions of Europeans with tumors or disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and Tourette's.
Endoscopic neurosurgery is to introduce a probe into the skull through a small opening called the burr hole, to manipulate tissue or to collect blood or other fluids. Robots are used to divide by ten shake the hand of the surgeon, making them useful to protect the delicate and crucial brain matter. Until now, robots have not passed testing for surgery as sophisticated.
Neelie Kroes, Vice President of the European Commission responsible for digital strategy, said: "If there is an activity (activity The term may refer to a profession.) That requires precision, it is the neurosurgery. I am therefore delighted that this research project (scientific research means first of all actions undertaken to produce and develop scientific knowledge. metonymic By extension, research ...) funded by the EU to help enhance the safety of surgeons and patients. If we can reduce waiting times and provide better patient outcomes in a context (the context of an event includes the circumstances and conditions that surround it; the context of a word, phrase, or a long statement of a text that includes the words ...) of an aging European population, I think we will be amply rewarded for our investment in projects technology of this type funded by the EU. "
As part of a monitoring project, called ACTIVE, parallel searches were initiated in the field of neurosurgery robot for operations that require the patient remains awake. Up to three robots (two of which are equipped with sensors and end effectors to operate and actively reduces head movement) should cooperate and assist the surgeon during the operation.
Research in the field of information technology and communication technology (ICT) applied to medicine (Medicine is a science, an art and a technique which aims to both study the human body and of its operation, as well as conservation and ...) has strong support within the framework of the Digital Agenda for Europe which aims to reduce the difficulties associated with diseases and to support active aging and healthy .Context
From November 28 to December 4 will be held the week of European robotics.
Robots play a key role in the field of computer-assisted surgery, which improves the operating conditions through the use of three-dimensional imaging, intraoperative monitoring of time (Time is a concept developed to represent change the world: the universe is never static, the component parts move, transform and evolve to the observer is man. ... If we consider) real and other tools.
In 2010, global demand for robots and related products accounted for about 15.5 billion euros, of which 3 billion in Europe.
The 7th program? For research and development, the European Commission has allocated about 400 million euros to hundreds of research projects in robotics.
Robocast project started in 2008 and resulted in surgical trials on mannequins in 2011. The ACTIVE project began in April 2011 for a period of four years and received 5.77 million euros in total funding of 7.62 million euros granted by the Commission. Six of the project partners participating in the consortium Robocast ACTIVE.
