The Robotics Institute

We are developing new methods of displaying, analyzing, and haptically rendering images, primarily for medical applications.

We have introduced a new device called the Sonic Flashlight^TM, for guiding invasive medical procedures, and are also involved in creating image analysis algorithms for identification and measurement of structure and function in medical images. We are also developing Fingersight^TM technology that gives individual fingertips the ability to feel and control the visible environment.

Please see our official VIA Lab publications page for a complete list of publications, including those not germane to either the Fingersight^TM or the Sonic Flashlight^TM projects.
