IROS Workshop on Shared Platforms for Medical Robotics Research
Get ready for another great community event at the upcoming IROS!
"Shared hardware and software platforms for robotic systems have the
great potential to foster collaboration between groups and to accelerate
the progress of technology development. In the medical robotics
community, a variety of common research platforms and software
frameworks have emerged, such as the RAVEN II, the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK), and the KUKA Lightweight Arm. The community around these platforms has joined together to support development of a common API, utilizing the Robot Operating System (ROS), and high-level software components to enable research.
The goals of this workshop are to more broadly engage the surgical
robotics community, leverage the momentum of the existing community by
presenting the latest developments, and to define the roadmap for future
enhancements.
We are soliciting extended abstracts, 1-2 pages in length, for
possible oral or poster presentation during Session 2. Accepted
abstracts will be posted on the workshop website. Abstracts should fit
the theme of the workshop and focus on shared platforms and software or
on research enabled by shared platforms and software. The deadline for abstract submission is July 31, 2017. Submission instructions will be posted shortly."
The website of the workshop is here.
