Worksop: Modular Surgical Robotics: how can we make it possible?
18th May 2012, St. Paul - Minnesota, USA
http://www.icra2012.org/
Chairs:
Paolo Fiorini, University of Verona, Italy
Giancarlo Ferrigno, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
Elena De Momi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submission of contributions: April 15th, 2012
Notification of Acceptance: May 1st, 2012
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
We invite scientists and companies active in the field of robotic surgery to submit contributions to the Workshop on Modular Surgical Robotics that will be held at ICRA2012. Contributions are expected to discuss how surgical robotics can be made modular by means of appropriate methods, e.g. standards, new interfaces, software and hardware architectures, validation, and benchmarking. The workshop topics are in the focus of the new European project Eurosurge (http://www.eurosurge.eu/), which is aimed at structuring a network of laboratories in robotic surgery and at promoting modularity in the cooperative (open hardware) development of robots.
The workshop will be divided into three sessions:
the first summarizing the current status of Eurosurge; the second with presentations from experts outside the project; and the third with a discussion expected to provide suggestions and opinions about introducing modularity into robotic surgery.
