Robotic surgery is one of the most appealing fields of modern robotics. With over 2 decades history, more than 2.000 systems installed worldwide and over 200.000 interventions conducted per annum; the field of robotic surgery is considered well-established. Despite these impressive figures and increasing popularity in research labs all over the world, the list of technological advances that made it into the operating room (OR) during this last decade is fairly limited. Long expected techniques such as 3D reconstruction, motion compensation, virtual guidance, haptic feedback, under study in many labs all over the planet did not make their appearance into the market yet.

This workshop seeks to give a clear view on the status and recent trends of abovementioned assistive surgical robotic technologies and aims to propose concrete measures to achieve a critical mass in research and innovation in this field. In fact, regardless of its popularity, the share of European technology used in clinical practice remains disproportionally small, with limited signs of improvement on the horizon. The workshop will continue the discussion started at ERF in Lyon and at ICRA in Karlsruhe and will attempt to identify the steps necessary to stimulate cooperation among the projects in robotic surgery and the best approach to take advantage of the supposed attention of Horizon2020 to innovation.

The 16th International Conference on Advanced Robotics, ICAR 2013, will be held at “Facultad de Ingeniería” of the “Universidad de la República” in Montevideo, Uruguay, November 25-29th, 2013.

The Israeli Conference on Robotics (ICR) is a biennial meeting,intended to provide a forum for Israeli and foreign researchers and engineers from industry and academia to discuss and exchange ideas on contemporary topics in robotics and automation. It is also intended to encourage local and international collaborations,and foster a viable robotics industry in Israel. Specific goals of ICR2013 are to promote robotics as a field of national priority, to promote innovation and support entrepreneurs in the robotics field, to promote robotics education, and to encourage the use of robotics and automation in the traditional industries, in agriculture, and in assisting the elderly population. The conference organization is lead by a steering committee that consists of senior representatives from industry and academia.

ICR2013 will host ISRACAS’ 2013, the 15th Israeli Symposium on Computer-Aided Surgery, Medical Robotics, and Medical Imaging.

The scientific program will include plenary talks on the current state of robotics worldwide, a panel discussion on the development of the robotics industry in Israel, an entrepreneurs forum, and presentations of contributed and invited papers in several technical tracks.

The scope of the conference covers topics that range from theoretical developments to industrial applications and emphasize current interests of the local robotics community and perceived needs of the Israeli industry and economy.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

Service robots
Medical robots
Robotics Education
Robots in agriculture
Security and defense applications
Microrobots
Biologically inspired systems
Autonomous vehicles
Multirobot systems
Automated manufacturing
Navigation and motion planning
