Hello~ I have a PhD in biomedical engineering working with humanoid robots for physical AI. I worked in various start-ups from self-driving cars to surgery robotics. And I hope in future there is more strategic investments towards AI solutions that do not rely on the latests LLMs. Sometimes a more simple decision tree can have a better cost-output than you expect 😄 Nice to be part of the community let's shape future together!

just finished watching the video, it was a nice overview of the neurovascular space. Just to help answer one question rearding the 7DoF, is easy to confuse with the rigid body of robotic arms. But, if you consider the electromechanical approach to move catheters inside the vasculature, then you have translation and rotation of a catheter as 2DoF for a single wire. In a normal Thrombectomy you are going to use a guide catheter, intermediate catheter, catheter, guidewires, stents, etc ... As @Pin-Hao Cheng asked in another post why Corpath failed commercially, one of the reasons I think was the limited support for simultaneous multiple catheter manipulation. One of the advantages of robotics should be to minimize the number of devices changes during surgery.
