The robot was developed in the laboratory of medical
robotics and became an essential tool in operating
rooms. It is attached to the patient’s vertebras or head,
and guides the surgeon with levels of precision that
are not possible by the human hand. The robot moves
according to the surgical plan, based on patient’s
imaging studies, facilitating greater accuracy, safety and
a minimally invasive approach. The robot is being used
in more than 100 hospitals around the world, and over
15,000 people were operated with it.

This researcher invented a system designed to
prevent accidents by warning the driver in real time
about dangerous situations and driving conditions.
The system is original equipment in cars built by
major automotive manufacturers worldwide and it is
manufactured in Israel. In 2017, the company was
bought by Intel for 15 billion dollars - the largest sum
ever paid for the purchase of an Israeli company.
