structed from wood without knots. Eliminating the knots in wood improves durability because it practically eliminates the possibility of water pockets forming within the wood. A Water Repellent Coat penetrates the wood and does not contain any colouring pigments so the surface will retain its natural wood colour and grains.

LAPAROSCOPY DEVICE

03

abstract Gravistome is a laparoscopic surgery device aiming to democratize the most significant advantages of robotic assisted surgery.

Robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery is a promising emerging method with high purchase and maintenance costs and as such has yet to be widely adopted, although the number of installed surgical robots worldwide has been expanding exponentially.

Gravistome provides a low-priced alternative utilizing balancing arms, inertia dampers and endowrist instruments with 7 degrees of freedom to enhance precision, dexterity and lessen fatigue while maintaining production and maintenance costs low.

It has the potential to be a game-changing alternative for public or impoverished hospitals alike, that do not have the necessary resources for a risk-bound investment into robotic surgery, but still want to upgrade their operating devices to 21st century technology and benefit from the advantages that come with it.

instrument coupling

1. INSERTION Point the controller towards the ground This allows for the cable couplers to slide downwards and reach their maximal extension.

Slowly insert the instrument.

1) On contact with the instrument, the controller’s couplers will be pushed upwards and reach the minimum possible extension.

2) Ramp-like guides automatically rotate the instrument in place. They guide each instrument-couplers into one of their counterpart’s grip, executing a maximal rotation of 90°.

tightening

2. TIGHTENING Tighten the interlocking mechanism by rotating the threaded coupler part.

1) The couplers of both sides experience opposing pulling forces and are brought to their combined maximal extension, fully interlocking the instrument and the controller.

TORQUE TRANSMISSION FRONT VIEW

The articulated end of the instrument can be continuously rotated around the central axis, without the necessity of rotating it back to it’s original configuration after a predefined maximal number of possible rotations. Highly complex suturing operations can be done with high efficiency.

Similar to a car transmission system, the rotational power is being transferred to the endowrist through a system of 4 uni-

POSTER DESIGN CONCERT Poster for the 10 th anniversary of the Val Badia Orchestra titled “Memories of a summer night”. The evocative background was inspired by late sunset light hitting the local reddish Dolomiti mountains, while the instruments provide an immediate insight into the orchestra’s composition.

LUGE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP Design of a the official poster for the 2019 European Championship in luge. Blue, white and green represent the region it took place in, the rustic wooden panels are indicative of the sport’s history and of the event not only being focused on sport, but also on the social-gathering/fun aspect.
