A team of researchers and physicians led by Professor Ron Alterovitz from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have developed a revolutionary robotic medical needle capable of autonomously navigating living tissue to reach its target while skillfully avoiding anatomical obstacles. This innovative technology promises to transform medical procedures, making them safer, more accurate, and less invasive. The team has demonstrated the technology in the lung, one of the body’s most intricate organs, and the autonomous robotic needle features mechanical, electrical, and software components.
