Bilateral Grants with Industry

We have started a collaboration with INSERM - UMR-S 867 (minimal invasive and robotized otological surgery) Faculté de Médecine Paris Diderot Paris 7 and with the company Collin SA (Bagneux, France) which is developing some activities in the domain of the head and neck (surgical robot such as RobOtol, middle ear implants, surgical instruments, surgical navigation, ...). The objective of this project is to obtain a simulation tool applied to the ear surgery for both training and planning of conventional and robotized middle ear surgery. In addition, the aim of this work is to provide a tool able to explore, develop and assess new robotized procedures using a tele-operated device called RobOtol. Guillaume Kazmitcheff is doing his PhD in the context of this collaboration: he is paid by a CIFRE contract with Collin, he is mainly working with the INSERM team but the design of the simulation is done in collaboration with our group and he is enrolled in the university of Lille 1.
