Robotic technologies have the potential to guide wound healing at the cellular level. Machine learning allows us to tailor the control to individual cellular dynamics on the go, enabling personalised solutions. This raises questions about how to ensure these systems are trustworthy and safe.
Watch the project’s kick-off presentation below, given in 2021 by the project lead, Sabine Hauert.
In this project we:
1) demonstrated wound healing in the laboratory, and
2) defined an envelope of operation that balances the risks and benefits of machine learning and autonomous control.
Could a robotic device be trusted to heal your wounds using light?
