neuroArm in the Operating Room : Since its arrival in Calgary in 2007 and first surgery performed in a young Calgarian mother, the neuroArm robot sited at the iMRI Theatre in Foothills Hospital (Seaman Family MR Research Centre) continues to be used clinically. Towards bringing his innovation to broader adoption, Dr. Sutherland has launched the build of next gen. neuroArm, called neuroArm⁺CellARM while continuing clinical excellence. SYMBIS system, an early version of neuroArm is sited at Project neuroArm research facility.

Project neuroArm: Through early support from Calgary philanthropic community, and leveraged through peer-reviewed provincial and federal grants including Canada Foundation for Innovation, the neuroArm endeavour allowed establishment of a state-of-the-art Medical Robotics Program here at the University of Calgary, named Project neuroArm. The facility located at HRIC 1C48 provides an advanced infrastructural hub to engineer medical devices, including rapid prototyping to digital Ai and product development-assembly. Generations of students, surgical residents, multi-disciplinary team of researchers (engineers/surgeons/scientists/corporate collaboration) are trained, recruited and career-mentored in this environment, while working towards expansion and program sustainability. The facility continues to host international cadre of collaborators and dignitaries, fostering innovation at multiple inter-linked labs and experimental-educational platforms listed below:

- Advanced Haptics & Surgical Performance Laboratory, with Dedicated Electrical Workshop

- Advanced Engineering & Prototyping Laboratory | The Campbell McLaurin Temporal Bone Dissection-Surgical Education Facility

- The Rotary Flames Experimental Operating Room for Advancement of Surgery

- Smart Calibration / Semi-Clean Facility

- Conference Rooms

- Telemetry & Debriefing Theatre

- Office Space, Meeting Lounge and Reception Area
