MIT Made a Robot for Emergency Stroke Surgeries

The telerobotic system uses a magnet to guide a wire through the vessels of a patient’s brain to remotely remove blood clots.

A recent Engadget article discussed an innovative new device created by MIT researchers to assist in emergency stroke procedures. Over the past few years, the team has been developing a telerobotic system that surgeons can use remotely for endovascular treatments for stroke patients. The device consists of a robotic arm with a magnet attached to the wrist. Surgeons use a modified joystick to adjust its orientation to maneuver a magnetic wire through the patient’s arteries and vessels to remove blood clots in their brains.
