How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

  • Engineers struggled to anticipate complex electro mechanical failure modes arising from subtle thermal expansion, micro cable friction, and motor controller jitter.
  • Historical lessons learned from previous surgical robotic platforms remained locked in PDF post market surveillance reports and retired engineer notebooks.
  • An unpredicted cable tension fatigue failure occurred during late stage animal lab trials, requiring an expensive 6 month mechanical redesign.
