2018 RAVEN deliveries
2018 RAVEN deliveries : Applied Dexterity has just completed the second of its 2018 RAVEN deliveries and installations! In May of 2018, the first 3-arm system with joint encoders and endoscopic camera adapter was delivered to the Queensland University of Technology’s Australian Centre for Continue reading 2018 RAVEN deliveries→
Hamlyn Symposium 2016
Hamlyn Symposium 2016 : Working at a startup means constant changes, but we’ve been fortunate to have one constant in our lives: our  annual trip to Imperial College London for the Hamlyn Symposium on medical robotics. It’s no coincidence that the Hamlyn Centre was Continue reading Hamlyn Symposium 2016→
The RAVEN on TV and in the news
The RAVEN on TV and in the news : The RAVEN and Surgical Cockpit were featured on NBC’s Heartbeat last week! With the hardware and expertise of Ji Ma from Jacob Rosen’s lab at UCLA and Andrew from Applied Dexterity, NBC was able use just a bit of TV magic Continue reading The RAVEN on TV and in the news→
Applied Dexterity goes to NASA
Applied Dexterity goes to NASA : We’ve been working with NASA for a few years in an effort to send the RAVEN to the International Space Station. NASA approached us with the opportunity to replace manual rodent dissections by astronauts with ground-based teleoperation of a modified Continue reading Applied Dexterity goes to NASA→

Open Source Innovation

The global robotics community is poised to deliver the next generation of robotic surgery. However, advancements have been inhibited by the lack of a central, robust platform to unite research efforts. Existing proprietary platforms with closed architectures needlessly hamper innovation, and researchers in a range of disciplines require an open-source, realistic high fidelity robotic manipulator as a proving ground for their advances.

We invite you to the RAVENTM Community. Already placed at sixteen key robotics research centers, the RAVEN is a proven, third generation surgical robotics testbed that provides the nucleus of an open innovation community. This community is united in the application and support of a common platform, and each member has the power to pursue and develop their own intellectual property. Improvements made by the community to the core robotic manipulator will be made available to the entire group. Individual members then have the opportunity to pursue their own proprietary advances in procedures, attached instruments, supervisory software, and human/machine interfaces.

Applied Dexterity is here to accelerate and facilitate your work.
