How We Help
In August of 2014, our client, Virtual Incision Corporation launched a bold project to develop an advanced, miniaturized robot for general surgery abdominal procedures, such as colon resections.
They very quickly encountered the challenges common to this kind of groundbreaking work:
- Truly realtime foundation of kinematics and system architecture
- Custom hardware device drivers
- Sub-millisecond response time from the operator to the actuator
- Medical-grade reliability requirements with zero failure rate
- Controlling EMF between high voltage and small signal circuits in extremely confined spaces
- Establishing an end-to-end QMS/tracking system
- Dealing with manufacturing variability in specialized hardware components
When we began working with Virtual Incision Corporation (VIC), they needed specialist assistance with the realtime hardware and software aspects of their project. We worked together to architect, build, and test the control, intelligence, and robotic hardware components of the product.
In January of 2016, VIC successfully completed the first live human trial, a significant milepost for this project.
Another client, United Defense Systems, had a very similar challenge on the complete opposite end of the scale. Instead of dealing in volts and micrometers, they were dealing in tons and kilowatts. To be specific: 20 tons, 200 kilowatts, and one remote controlled armored reconnaissance vehicle skunkworks project.
Like VIC, United Defense Systems needed precision and extreme reliability. Like VIC, they hired us to help resolve some challenging architectural and operational issues. And like VIC, we resolved those issues and met multiple aggressive product development milestones.
We have helped dozens of other companies design, refine, and ship products that must always work, no matter what. If this is what you need, click on the Contact Us button on this page and let’s talk.
