Huge congratulations to Nasif Bin Saif and all members of the Mechanical Intelligence (MI) Research Group on this outstanding achievement!

South Bank Ignite is LSBU’s flagship innovation competition and festival, designed to help students and recent graduates bring their ideas to life—and MandiGrip has done just that.

🔧 Inspired by nature and driven by purpose, MandiGrip empowers surgeons by replacing single-function tools with a sustainable, bioinspired, and multifunctional laparoscopic toolhead—making minimally invasive surgeries faster, safer, and more cost-effective. This win is a testament to the power of research, collaboration, and purposeful innovation. Well done to the whole team!
