…are assorted sensors and software designed to monitor a doctor’s office, particularly during consultations with patients. The goal is to analyze the physician’s behavior and better understand the dynamics of the interactions of the doctor with the electronic medical records and the patients in front of them. The eventual goal…

…robot built without any electronic components and developed by the Bioinspired Robotics and Design Lab. VectorZero is led by computer science alumnus Steven Rotenberg, and provides software that allows car companies, for example, to build 3D road simulations to train autonomous vehicles. The company, headquartered in Carlsbad, has 14 employees,…

…of hydraulics, coupled with micro-electronic mechanical systems (MEMS) and soft robotics, to make a medical device with much wider applications than cerebral endovascular surgery alone. Neurotendo could also be used to navigate a catheter through the urinary tract, heart or any other tight, twisty spot that doctors need images of…
