09 | ACCELERATING ROBOTIC INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT

Project

Robotic Instrument Test Platform

Client

Ethicon

Faster instrument development through independent testing.

MISSION

Develop an independent robotic test platform that replicates the surgical robot driver, enabling faster, more flexible development and testing of robotic instruments.

SOLUTION

Engineered a versatile test platform that removed the constraints of the surgical robot environment, allowing for higher-precision sensing, more powerful motors, and rapid design iteration. Using readily available components, the system was designed for easy maintenance and deployment across wet labs, robotic arms, and multiple mounting configurations.

OUTCOMES

Delivered 50 test platforms, including 20+ upgraded second-generation systems, supporting seven client teams and the development of more than 20 robotic instruments. Today, the platforms represent over 85% of the client’s robotic testing lab infrastructure.
