Original applied research took place in the BMBF research campus M2OLIE, resulting in a viable proof-of-concept system. The technology was then licensed to BEC GmbH and developed into a mature, market-ready medical product. We present the development journey from experimental proof-of-concept to pre-production prototype to market-ready medical product. We will describe user studies and clinical trials that were undertaken, including initial trials on medical phantoms, as well as successful first-in-animal and first-in-human interventions.enRobotikAssistenzsystemMedizintechnikchirurgisches InstrumentNadel (Medizin)610journal article
