    Prostate cancer is a leading cause of death in men, making early detection through needle biopsy crucial for effective treatment.

  • 2

    The PROST robotic system enhances prostate biopsy accuracy by integrating machine learning for planning and execution, while maintaining user control.

  • 3

    PROST operates at autonomy level 1, providing cognitive and manual assistance to improve biopsy precision regardless of the operator's experience.

  • 4

    Using only two entry points, PROST reduces patient trauma and procedure time while achieving accuracy comparable to expert urologists.

  • 5

    The system aims to increase accessibility to high-quality prostate biopsies in outpatient settings, potentially lowering costs and improving efficiency.
