AI makes the diagnosis, and the robot performs the procedure: Kyung Hee University develops a robotic system for neurovascular intervention.
A research team led by Professor Hwang Hyo-seok from Kyung Hee University's Department of Software Convergence has been selected for a 2026 basic research laboratory support project by the Ministry of Science and Technology Information and Communication and the Korea Research Foundation. The team will receive 1.5 billion KRW over three years to operate an AI autonomous cerebral vascular intervention robot research laboratory.
The project aims to develop a system where AI and robots perform cerebral vascular interventions, reducing reliance on doctors' manual skills and minimizing risks. The research will be conducted in collaboration with researchers from Kyung Hee University, Korea University, and the University of Toronto, as well as SickKids hospital in Canada.
