The event is the public presentation of the new surgical robotics center:
- University of Verona
- Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata Verona
- Politecnico di Milano
The goal of the center is to develop and test new devices and computer algorithms for robotic surgery. The results of many European projects, either active or concluded, will converge in the laboratory, which will foster the transition from research to clinical practice.
