    Axel Krieger | Autonomous Robotics in the Medical Device Field

    Axel Krieger, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University, discusses the development of the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR), which performs autonomous keyhole bowel surgery (anastomosis) with superior consistency to human surgeons. The system uses supervised autonomy, infrared markers, and a custom structured light 3D camera to plan and execute sutures on bowel tissue, demonstrating results in preclinical animal studies. Krieger explains how STAR differs from the teleoperated Da Vinci robot by offering high autonomy for specific tasks, with commercialization handled through licensing to Active Surgical and potential future startups. The conversation covers the technical challenges of tissue deformation, vision systems, and the translational path from academic research to clinical application.

    112: Designing & Commercializing Robotics Inventions

    Andra Keay, Managing Director of Silicon Valley Robotics, explains the transition from industrial 'Robotics 1.0' to consumer-focused 'Robotics 2.0,' highlighting how affordable sensors and real-time processing enable products like robot vacuums to navigate environments. She outlines the 'three stools' of commercialization—funding, product-market fit, and manufacturing—warning founders against giving up excessive equity to accelerators and urging them to validate demand before scaling. Keay emphasizes that successful robotics startups must navigate the difficult transition from prototype to volume production, often requiring a complete redesign from accessible dev boards like Arduino to cost-effective custom PCBs.

    #009 - Commercializing the first robotic touch sensing that uses light, with Ákos Dömötör of OptoForce, Hungary

    Ákos Dömötör, CEO of OptoForce, explains how the company commercialized its unique optical force/torque sensors for collaborative robots, differentiating itself from competitors using strain gauges or capacitive sensing. He details the company's evolution from a university spinoff with a technically mature but market-mismatched product to a scalable business by iterating on its business model and focusing on industrial customers. Dömötör discusses the challenges of shifting an engineering-heavy team to customer-centricity, managing in-house production of critical components while outsourcing standard parts like PCBs to local suppliers, and the importance of empathy in navigating cultural differences in international business.
