A surgical system includes: (1) an imaging device configured to acquire imaging data of a surgical site; (2) a surgical manipulator configured to hold a surgical tool; and (3) a controller connected to the imaging device and the surgical manipulator, wherein the controller is configured to receive the imaging data from the imaging device and derive, from the imaging data, an insertion trajectory for the surgical tool through an incision at the surgical site.

System and method for automated image-guided robotic intraocular surgery

A robotic surgery system includes: (1) a positioning stage and (2) at least one manipulator arm mounted to the positioning stage, wherein the manipulator arm includes a track and a tool carriage moveably mounted to the track, and the tool carriage includes a base and a pair of light emitting devices mounted to the base.

Laser-assisted surgical alignment

Provided are methods of preparing a biocompatible textured surface on a thermoplastic material comprising treating the material with a plasma and subsequently shrinking the substrate to induce formation of textures. The textured surfaces are useful in one aspect, to align cells such as stem cells.

Multi-scale wrinkles for functional alignment of stem cells and cardiac derivatives

Provided are methods of preparing a textured surface on a thermoplastic material that include treating the material with a plasma and subsequently shrinking the substrate to induce formation of textures.
