Restoration Robotics, Inc. announced Aug. 7 that co-founder Dr. Mohan Bodduluri has been honored with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Leonardo da Vinci Award, which recognizes eminent achievement in the design or invention of a product that is universally recognized as an important advance in machine design.
The Leonardo da Vinci Award, presented Aug. 6 at the ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conference, honors excellence and innovation in engineering in the spirit of 14th-century inventor Leonardo da Vinci.
The award is granted annually by ASME, a not-for-profit professional organization that promotes international collaboration and excellence across engineering disciplines.
At Restoration Robotics, Bodduluri was closely involved with the development of the ARTAS Robotic System, an FDA-cleared, physician-controlled, computer-assisted technology for hair transplantation.
Prior to co-founding Restoration Robotics, Bodduluri was vice president of R &D at Accuray Inc., a market leader in robotic radiosurgery.
