- Congratulations to our #RAS team member Yang Li on being awarded the prestigious Research Foundation Flanders - FWO #PhDFellowship! 🎉 A well-deserved recognition for his project MANCIS – Markerless Augmented Reality Navigation for Cochlear Implant Surgery, aiming to make cochlear implant procedures safer, easier and more precise. Looking forward to seeing this exciting research progress through the collaboration between our Robot Assisted Surgery Group and ExpORL at KU Leuven! 🚀 #MANCIS #FWO #PhDFellowship #RobotAssistedSurgery
- I'm excited to share that I have been awarded a Research Foundation Flanders - FWO PhD Fellowship Strategic Basic Research for my project MANCIS - Markerless Augmented Reality Navigation for Cochlear Implant Surgery. MANCIS aims to enable surgeons seeing through the bone during cochlear implant surgery and make the procedure safer, easier, and faster. Huge thanks to my supervisors Nicolas Verhaert and Carlos Rodriguez-Guerrero, without your consistent support of me and the project, this wouldn't be possible. Thanks to
- More than 600 visitors joined us on Sunday, 4 October, for Voka Open Bedrijvendag. Throughout the day, our team demonstrated a range of robotic and interventional technologies, many of them developed through collaborations within KU Leuven and with national and international partners. Among them, we showcased work from #AIRCARE, combining AI and robotics to support the diagnosis and surgical treatment of head and neck cancer; PROMPT - EIC, developing robotic catheter technologies for time-critical endovascular interventions such
- Great to see our colleague Mirza Awais Ahmad featured on #KarakterCast. Awais is not only a postdoctoral researcher in our group, but also an #entrepreneur taking on the challenge of translating robot-assisted endovascular technologies into real clinical impact. In this episode, he talks about stroke care, medical robotics and the potential of technology to extend clinical expertise and improve access to treatment. Well worth a listen! 🎧 #MedicalRobotics #Stroke #Endovascular #Robotics #MedTech #ClinicalTranslation #Innovation
- Ever wondered what it takes to make a robot assist a surgeon? This Sunday, 4 October, the KU Leuven Robot Assisted Surgery Group is opening its doors for Voka Open Bedrijvendag. From navigating delicate anatomy to controlling surgical instruments with sub-millimeter precision, our research explores the challenges behind bringing new robotic technologies closer to the operating room. Come and meet our researchers and entrepreneurs, see our robotic systems in action, and discover how we are working towards more precise, less invasive
