The contribution to this project is given through the Center for Biorobotics, which is a recently established research center in TUT Faculty of IT. The mission of TUT Center for Biorobotics is to facilitate competitive research and development in interdisciplinary areas, between biological and technical systems. The main research directions are electroactive polymer artificial muscles research, artificial muscles modelling and control, biomimetic underwater robotics, mechanics of undulating fins, modelling of fish and their hydrodynamic properties with CFD, modelling of fish locomotion, , human body modelling, as well as safety of robot learning. The infrastructure of the Center of Biorobotics is suitable for theoretical as well as experimental work in the aforementioned areas, including digital electronics laboratory, mechanical workshop, polygons for robot testing, various types of robotic platforms, CAD systems for control software development, simulation software, etc. Center of Biorobotics is involved in several international and national research projects. The ETF-U.S.CRDF joint project with Michigan State University is dedicated to artificial polymer muscles modelling and control. FP7 ICT STREP project FILOSE is devoted to bioinspired underwater locomotion and sensing.

role in the project: the main role of TUT is the project is through soft tissue modelling, intervention and deformation registration and organ calibration for the safety of the models.
