The 2015 Innovative Surgical Robotics Forum
If you are traveling around the UK next week, it may worth to stop by in London for this meeting:
The global market for medical robotics and computer-assisted surgical
(MRCAS) equipment was worth nearly $2.7 billion in 2013. The market is
projected to approach $3.3 billion in 2014 and $4.6 billion by 2019 for a
CAGR of 7% for the five-year period, 2014 to 2019. Surgical robots
dominate the global MRCAS market, accounting for more than 70%.
Robotic devices are extremely complex systems will require considerable
amounts of R&D. Government support will therefore be crucial in
these next 5 years.
The 2015 Innovative Surgical Robotics Forum is a event jointly
organised by the Robotics and Autonomous Systems SIG and the EU. Four EU
FP7 projects (STIFF-FLOP, μRalp, CASCADE, and ReMeDi) leading the field
of surgical robotics will exhibit their latest achievements. During
this event, the aim is to identify market opportunities and the gaps
between clinical, academic and industrial communities to establish a
multidisciplinary community focused on the subject. We will facilitate
the exploitation of robotics R&D by bringing together the different
stakeholders and create the opportunity to form new partnerships and
collaborative relationships.
