Abstract :
Aiming to structurally and functionally replace missing or damaged tissues, regenerative medicine can offer revolutionary therapeutical solution in addressing musculoskeletal conditions. Translation from basic research to affordable cost effective therapeutic procedures implies using advanced robotic and automatized technology for research, processing, quality control and future development. This paper overviews present status of robotics and automation applications for cell culturing, scaffold fabrication, imaging and process monitoring in the field of regenerative medicine for musculoskeletal conditions.
