CRAS - call for papers
CRAS2020: "Surgical robotics is a key factor for the introduction of new surgical procedures not feasible otherwise, as well as for improving current procedures by providing new aiding tools that allow achieving more precision and other surgical performances. Robotics breaks into the Operating Room in an effective way in the XXI century and its progress, although still slow, has already reached a figure of 10.000 robots operating in hospitals worldwide. This year’s edition, coinciding with the CRAS 10th anniversary, will evidence the appearance of new surgical robots and other devices in different specialties, which until now were served by very few manufacturers. This market expansion will break through with the actual slow progress and will favor reaching a wider range of clinical centers.
In this 10th edition communications are expected in advances in the following fields: virtual reality techniques applied to planning and assisted guidance; new techniques to introduce effective haptic feedback, new devices for less invasive surgery and to facilitate the execution of complex surgical tasks. CRAS 2020 is the 10th edition of this successful event. Formerly labeled as a workshop, from this 10th edition onwards CRAS has graduated and will continue to move forward as a `conference'. Extended abstracts (2 pages) discussing new technologies for computer/robot assisted surgery are solicited. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following":
