Best Robotics 'Incision Decision 2023
This year, BEST Robotics presented the theme of ‘Incision Decision’, a game based around robotic surgical technologies which are taking over surgical rooms around the world. The 24 by 24 foot game field will simulate a human heart and brain as teams try to maneuver their robots to perform tasks such as heart valve replacements, bypasses, and brain biopsies, just to name a few.
Our strategy on the field is to harvest both of the leg veins first. They are our main objectives because they are the most points. Then, we will connect these harvested veins to the blind side bypass on the heart’s exterior wall while quickly performing an ablation process. Next, our robot will scrape the plaque from the artery’s blindside and then dump it into the biowaste container next to the surgical toolkit location. After that, we will complete the angioplasty procedure inside a coronary artery by inserting a stent. Finally, our robot will perform the brain biopsy procedure, autonomously extracting biopsy samples from the brain cavity. So, as you can see, our robot can do all the surgeries included on our field, so we can tackle anything that comes our way.
