Robotic-Assisted Tissue Engineering
Lee Weiss
NSH 1507
Refreshments 4:15 pm
Talk 4:30 pm
Tissue engineering is an
interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life
sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore,
maintain, or improve tissue function or a whole organ. There are numerous
robotic-related technologies that that can be applied to tissue engineering. We
(Phil Campbell, Gary Fedder, Takeo Kanade, Lee Weiss, and our students) are
developing several of these technologies, including: manufacturing automation
for building tissue constructs; computer vision-based cell tracking; bioMEMS;
and, machine learning for guiding experimental design. We are applying
these technologies to several tissue engineering applications, including bone
regeneration and bionic prosthetic interfaces. I will present an overview of
tissue engineering, the robotic technologies, and their applications.
