15th Conference on New Technologies for Computer and Robot-Assisted Surgery (CRAS)
Jubilee 15th CRAS is coming to Leeds!
The programme will feature field-leading keynotes, and academic presentations and posters across novel robotic mechanisms, surgical autonomy, imaging and guidance, and human–robot interaction and haptics. An intimate, high-calibre setting, CRAS brings together the best students and researchers in medical robotics, ideal for access to outstanding talent.
Topics include:
- Learning approaches for Registration, Segmentation, Modelling, Sensing and Control.
- Novel Robotic Hardware and Sensors for Diagnosis and Intervention.
- Motion Compensation, Active Guidance and Task Autonomy.
- Human-Robot Collaboration and Shared Control.
- Augmented and Mixed Reality, Tactile and Haptic Feedback, and Novel Interfaces.
- Surgical Workflow Analysis, Training and Skill Assessment.
- Magnetics in Surgery: Tethered/Untethered Robots, Sensing, Localisation and Control.
- Robotic Endoscopes and Catheters for Diagnostic and Interventional Procedures.
- Soft, Continuum and Growing (Vine) Robots, and Variable Stiffness Robotic Systems.
- Robotics at small scales: Microsurgery, Micro-/Nano-Robotics.
- Standardization and Regulation, Safety and Dependability, and Usability and User-Acceptance.
- Teleproctoring and Telesurgery
