ICRA2017 is on us

The annual IEEE ICRA is here again. Last year, we had a great tutorial at ICRA in Stockholm, and this year, in Singapore, you can see a showcase of latest technological advancements again.

A particularly interesting workshop will be on

C4 Surgical Robots: Compliant, Continuum, Cognitive, and Collaborative

featuring some of the most well known experts of the field:

• Kaspar Althoefer Queen Mary University of London: Compliant & Continuum: Flexible robots of controllable stiffness for minimally invasive surgery: the STIFF-FLOP project
• Ken Goldberg UC Berkeley: Cognitive - Bootstrapping Deep Reinforcement Learning of Surgical Tensioning with An Analytic Model
• Arianna Menciassi SSSA: Compliant - Minimally Invasive Surgery: From Soft Surgical Tools to Flexible Platforms for Focused Ultrasounds“?
• Ilana Nisky Ben-Gurion University of the Negev: Cognitive and collaborative - Human sensorimotor control for evaluating the skill of surgeons and the transparency of teleoperation in surgical robotics
• Paolo Fiorini University of Verona: Cognitive - Surgical data analysis: training and skill assessment
• Elena De Momi Politecnico di Milano: Collaborative interfaces for human robot interaction
• Jaydev Desai Gatech: Continuum & Cognitive - Flexible robots for minimally invasive surgical procedures
• Robert Howe, Harvard University: Continuum - Enabling Autonomous Ultrasound-based Procedure Guidance In Cardiac Interventions
• Tim Salcudean UBC: Cognitive - Ultrasound-based Guidance for Robot-assisted Prostate Surgery
• Katherine Kuchenbecker, UPenn: Cognitive-Physical Instrument Interactions Strongly Relate to Robotic Surgical Skill
• Robert J. Webster III Vanderbilt University: Continuum - Single Port Robots as Hand-Held Tools … and When to do the Opposite
