WP Leader

 
     
 
OBJECTIVES
The main goal of this WP is to integrate all the modules in a single platform, going from the distal robotic units to the external human machine interface and console. It includes alto integration of the wireless teleoperation.After the separate testing and optimization of all components of the system, the integration phase is very delicate and critical.
 
The system integration represents the connection between technology and medical application. The assembly of every biomedical instrumentation requires the knowledge of all mechanical, electrical, thermal and biological interfaces. All the medical constraints (safety issues, biocompatibility etc.) must be considered in this phase.
 
The system integration phase must not be necessarily limited to the final part of the project: the development of preliminary prototypes will help to define the system-integration process step by step. Medical certification aspects, e.g. final risk management, have to be taken into account at this step of the project as, after assembling the pre clinical and clinical trial, it can be prepared only after receiving the necessary certifications regarding the guidelines.
