Abstract Details

2012, Master of Science in Engineering, University of Toledo, Engineering (Computer Science).
Through the use the University of Toledo sensor network infrastructure , along with a High Performance Compute (HPC) infrastructure, and the new robotics and virtual reality labs, experiments are conducted to determine the viability of roboticsapplied to minimally invasive spinal fusions. We explore the implications of radiation reduction as well as accuracy (both required and actualized). To support said experiments,infrastructural components in both hardware and software are developed. Results show that this method is able to achieve the goals set forward. Steps are being taken to continue funded research in collaboration with industry partners, which has the real potential of leading to a commercial product in a high revenue market.
