Hamlyn Symposium 2015
The proceedings of the Hamlyn Symposium are now available. Numerous interesting sessions were held, especially on the ones focusing on open platforms and inter-operability.
"Leading research teams from across the world showcased their
innovations in robotic surgery at the finals of the Surgical Robot Challenge 2015, which took place during the Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics this weekend. The Symposium is hosted by the Institute of Global Health Innovation’s Hamlyn Centre for Robotic Surgery.
The
competition finalists, selected as part of a two-round process,
prepared a filmed demonstration of their technology, and presented it to
an independent and international judging panel on Saturday 20th June.
Finalists competed for a prize fund of 10,000 USD, and winners will be
announced at the Hamlyn Symposium Awards Ceremony on Monday 22nd June.
