Intl. Workshop on Medical Robotics at PoliMi

Just a week after BioRob, we had the pleasure to be back to Italy, hosted by the Politecnico di Milano (the great group of Prof. Ferrigno), within the frames of the one-day International Workshop on Medical Robotics. This was organized in conjunction with the ISO TC184 JWG9 standardization committee's (on Safety Regulations for Medical Robots) most recent meeting. (A later post will cover that as well.) The workshop was covering various areas of medical robotics, and also scheduled time for some panel discussion at the end. You can access all presentations below, or on the workshop's website:
