The Robotic Retinal Dissection Device (R2D2) operates inside the eye through a small hole that is less than 1 mm in diameter. The small hole is needed for R2D2 to enter and exit the eye throughout the entire procedure, regardless if the eye rotates or not.
Acting like a mechanical hand, the robot uses seven independent computer-controlled motors to make precise movements within a 1/1,000 mm scale.
The eye surgeon uses a joystick and touchscreen to control the robot and can monitor its progress through an operating microscope.
