Title: Autonomous Delivery of Trauma Care in the Field
Principal Investigator: Artur Dubrawski, PhD
Supporting Agency: Department of Defense – Combat Casualty Care
Project Goals: The contractor shall deliver technical data describing the conceptual design of the following prototype capabilities: soft robotic enabled patient care system with integrated noninvasive sensing, robotic intervention systems for vascular access, needle thoracostomy ad airway access, A modular robotic System comprised of dedicated modules with integrated non invasive sensor packages.
Specific Aims:
Aim 1: Stabilize – Develop soft robotic technology to safely immobilize patients and support wound care.
Aim 2: Sense – Advance noninvasive sensing that is portable, low cost, easy to use, and informs real time control of robotic articulators.
Aim 3: Plan – Develop technologies and their supporting algorithms to automate vascular access, needle thorocostomy and airway access.
Aim 4: Act - Develop modular robot architecture for easy to use, customizable and expediently deployable medical robot system.
