This section develops minimally invasive robotic systems, laparoscopic simulators, and endo-robotic platforms for precision operations and physician training. Research spans from the kinematic design and dynamic analysis of surgical robotic arms with hard-soft materials to aerospace-adapted teleoperated systems. Also, it covers anatomical engineering and 3D printing for personalized devices. Artificial intelligence, telemedicine, and microgravity-adapted architectures converge in these projects, enabling both clinical application and astronaut healthcare.
