Workshop on Surgical Robotics

at the Second IEEE RAS / EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob 2008), Scottsdale, Arizona, U.S.A

 

Co-Organizers

Jacob Rosen and M. Cenk Cavusoglu

Abstract

Surgical robotics is an emerging area of research on the application of robotics technology to planning and execution of surgery and medical interventions. The applications of the medical robotics technology cover a wide range, extending from different types of minimally invasive surgery, to orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, and image guided interventions.  In this one day workshop, the state-of-the-art in surgical robotic systems and technologies will be reviewed.  The goal of the workshop is identify the progress made in the field in the recent years, and provide a platform to discuss the major research issues and new research opportunities.

Date
