A medical navigation system needs more than actuation. In endovascular procedures, reliable navigation depends on integrating anatomy, instrument position, imaging context... and the intended route into a workflow that remains 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭. This is the relevance of 𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐍. The project combines work on three-dimensional vascular reconstruction, route information, image fusion and system interfaces. Prof. Alex W. Friedrich’s point captures the broader significance well: 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. For Flux Robotics 🧲, this strongly resonates. Endovascular robotic navigation must mature as a complete medical device system. The German–Dutch consortium model is therefore more than a funding structure. It is a practical innovation model. Perfect to create the next generation of Flux systems. #FluxRobotics #ORION #MedicalImaging #Endovascular #Robotics #AI #HumanInTheLoop #MedicalDevices #Interreg #VascularSurgery #MedTech
