The University of Texas at Austin received a $581,518 Project Grant awarded July 1, 2026, from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286). The award supports development of a biomechanics-aware, image-guided neurosurgical robotic workstation designed to advance minimally invasive spinal fixation procedures. The integrated system comprises three primary components: (1) a biomechanics-aware design and planning module utilizing quantitative computed tomography scans to map vertebral bone mineral density and perform pre-operative analysis; (2) a sensorized steerable drilling robot with robotic positioning mechanism capable of autonomous or semi-autonomous operation; and (3) novel flexible pedicle screws for implantation in surgically drilled tunnels. The deliverables enable spatial spinal fixation (SSF), a next-generation surgical approach that provides access to vertebral regions inaccessible with conventional rigid instruments. This technology targets treatment of various spinal pathologies including spinal cord compression, metastatic bone disease, and vertebral compression fractures associated with severe osteoporosis. The project runs through May 31, 2030, and addresses a significant clinical need, given that over 500,000 spinal fixation operations were performed in the United States in 2018 at mean costs ranging from $27,000 to $78,000 per procedure.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
