A robotic end-effector for surgical tool handoff

The goal of this research project is to establish a working robotic “hand”, or gripper, that will be able to perform surgical instrument handoff to operating room staff members during surgery. This project will involve a both McGill University and Kinova, the partner organization. Kinova will benefit from this project through increased collaboration with academia, as well as access to medical resources, such as surgical instruments, inquiries with medical professionals, or even observerships within operating rooms.
