Jun 2, 2008 - MrBot is an Image-Guided Intervention robot (IGI). IGI robots are essentially different from surgical robots, functionally and constructively. If a suspicious lesion is seen in an image, it is often the case that a biopsy needs to be sampled from that exact location. The robot goes in the scanner alongside the patient and precisely guides the needle based on the images, digitally. This also applies to needle therapies. See the URobotics website for more.
