MCC Engineeing Students Exploring Soft Robotic Project


MCC engineering students Gregory Landon-Langlois and Timothy Van Slyke attended the annual Design Day at the University of Rochester. There were 16 undergraduate biomedical engineering projects and 5 projects from the Center for Medical Technology & Innovation (CMTI) graduate program. The projects ranged from surgical instruments to improve fixation in the dome high tibial osteotomy to those designed to shunt blood to renal arteries during open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair surgery.

Tim and Greg have just started to explore the soft robotic project at MCC, particularly an anthropomorphic hand model.  This project will be funded by Dean Laurel Sanger.
