- An outcome of €7.35M EU FP7 STIFF-FLOP project – this paper offers an efficient approach for modelling soft surgical robots for key-hole surgery. The STIFF-FLOP robot was successfully tested on human cadavers by surgeons, and it was selected as one of five “cool-robots” by the European Commission. It led to £110K (International PhD Scholarship) award by the Malaysian Government for developing the GENTLER robot – a flexible Uterine Elevator for minimally invasive gynaecological procedures. The outcomes of the project led to the award of £1.2M EPSRC MOTION project (EP/N029003/1) led by Imperial College and involved the University of Surrey (ex-employer).
