Nuclear Reactor Operation
Teleoperation technology is applied to the operation and maintenance of nuclear reactors and remotely-located energy facilities, such as ocean-based oil rigs and wind mills. Advanced man-machine interface and interactive simulation allows hands-on experience and training of such operation.
Decontamination and Decommissioning
Robotic systems are now widely used in surgeries. Currently more than 50% of total prostatectomies are performed by robotically-assisted operation. We are leveraging telerobotic technology for surgical applications. Our current innovations address haptic sensory feedback for dexterity surgical operations, and application of augmented reality technology for orthopedic surgery.
