Alumni robot performs first autonomous injection
A company that was founded by two alumni who met during their first year at Waterloo Engineering has developed the first autonomous robot to perform intramuscular injections.
Tim Lasswell (BASc ’14, mechanical engineering, MASc ’17, biomedical engineering) and Nima Zamani (BASc ’14, mechanical engineering, MASc ’17, mechatronics engineering) launched Cobionix in 2019 and operate out of Velocity, the flagship startup incubator at the University of Waterloo.
