Autonomous Needle-steering Robots Advance Minimally Invasive Surgery
by NSFMinimally invasive surgical techniques are highly successful in improving patient care, reducing risk of infection, and decreasing recovery times. The development of needle-steering robots aims to further reduce invasiveness by developing techniques to insert thin, flexible needles into the human body and steer them from the outside. Collaboration among scientists at the NSF-funded Engineering Research Center (ERC) for Computer-Integrated Surgical ...

About
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program. This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research.Read MoreFind a REU Site
