Overview
The Robotic Neurosurgical Probe Guide, built in conjunction with University of Pittsburgh's Medical School, assists the surgeon in choosing an incision site. It allows the surgeon to accurately place the probe tip while still allowing the surgeon to "feel" the insertion forces, using force-feedback.

The Robotics Institute is part of the School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University.
