The Biomechanical-and Image-Guided Surgical Systems (BIGSS) laboratory focuses on developing innovative computer-aided surgical guidance systems involving novel robots, advanced imaging, and real-time biomechanical assessments to improve surgical outcomes. BIGSS researchers develop and test robotic workstations to assist in surgeries treating bone defects by designing and applying continuum manipulators, imaging, and visualization using augmented reality. The BIGSS lab also focuses on applying machine learning and intraoperative biomechanical analysis for craniofacial and orthopaedic surgery. The lab also develops and tests image-guided navigation systems for the treatment of hip dysplasia and single-stage cranioplasty. |
