Iranian Scientists Design, Produce Remote Surgeon Robot
“We started our activity as a team five months ago and in this short time we were able to complete several projects. The scope of the team’s activity is designing and manufacturing electronic and electromechanical products. In general, the team's activity is carried out in two different parts, the first part is research-scientific projects that are built for competition, festival and exhibition purposes, and the next part is in the field of commercial products,” Sina Ebrahimzadeh told ANA.
“The research project that we presented to the Renotex exhibition (the 10th innovation and technology exhibition of Rab’e Rashidi) was the two-axis robotic arm,” he added.
“The goal of the project is to generalize the concept to remote surgeon robots which is currently one of the most popular international topics, and the use of this robot can give the doctor or surgeon the ability to remotely operate on a patient,” Ebrahimzadeh said.
Iran in June 2021 performed the first remote robotic surgery on a dog successfully.
The operation was carried out using a surgeon robot developed by the Iranian knowledge-based Sina Robotics and Medical Innovators company.
The surgery was done by Dr. Talebpour stationed at Imam Khomeini hospital while the robot and the patient, which was a dog, were both at Sina hospital during the operation.
