Smart printed interactive robots for interventional therapy and surgery
The SPIRITS Interreg project (Smart Printed Interactive Robots for Interventional Therapy and Surgery) aims at developing innovative robotics by 3D printing for interventional radiology and image guided surgery. SPIRITS combines existing expertise and creates synergies that lead to innovations. The new research consortium in the Upper Rhine region involves French, German and Swiss scientists. The SPIRITS project was launched as part of the Offensive Sciences program.
