Entry Description

This project demonstrates the future of eye surgery.
a medical robot that can perform a transatlantic and transnational surgery, can enable Patients receive treatment by Vitreous surgeons while far away.
The surgeon can use a console to operate this robot remotely located.
285 million people with eye diseases and diabetes as a result of old age. 25 million (in industrialized countries) diseases retina, leading to blindness. Retinal surgery is complex and delicate, with only very skilled surgeons perform the surgery.
Vitreous is a robot that performs transatlantic retinal surgery. It’s designed to look visually pleasing but also confident. The circular ring acts as a hub for the design, housing the mechanical arms, almost camouflaging them . Transatlantic surgeries involve the patient sitting in one location, while the surgeon sits elsewhere, operating on the patient via the robot.
Soft forms, along with a mainly white body promotes an air of calmness, allowing the patient to relax.
