Hey! I’m Ryan Fish, a Boston-based roboticist, Siberian Husky parent, and apple tree grower. I spent the last 9 years building an amazing soft-tissue, minimally invasive surgical robotic system, a project that unfortunately was cut short too soon. Catch our sizzler reel!
My core contributions were miniaturization of the entire surgical manipulator, improvement in its dynamic performance and accuracy, and generating the requirements and architectures related to its control in software. I developed analyses of performance data in Python to determine reliability issues, and closed the loop with design changes. I was technical lead on that project from 2018-2022, taking us public and delivering the features used in our Beta 2 Demo Day public milestone.
As our organization grew, I continued to develop prototypes for new product concepts, such as an advanced RF Energy vessel sealer and a method to add a third manipulating arm to our system. Most recently, as our organization shrank again, I took back the tech-lead and programmatic reins for the surgical instrument as well as the trocar, brought our instrument calibration fixture from concept to operatiional in the assembly line, and advised leadership on the technical impacts of the difficult decisions being made.
