AI-Guided Robotic Platform for High-Precision Retina Surgery

healthPilotedTRL 7

Imagine trying to repair a microscopic circuit board while looking through a tiny keyhole with shaky hands. This technology acts like a smart GPS and steady-hand assistant for eye surgeons. It uses AI to map the eye's surface in real-time, guiding the tools safely to prevent accidental damage to the delicate retina.
