3rd North American Robotic Summer School

Since I received like 5 copies of their call, decided to put out a post as well. Applications are now welcomed for the 3rd North American Robotics Summer School (London, ON, Aug. 13-17.)

" The goal for the one-week Summer School is to provide trainees (PhD students and postdoctoral fellows) with lectures, hands-on laboratory experience, introduction to novel technologies and emerging themes, and informal interactions with leading experts. Several lectures will give an in-depth coverage of topics such as:     

• surgical robotics     
• haptics and teleoperation     
• medical imaging     
• computer-assisted surgical planning     
• major therapy delivery techniques     
• surgical simulation     
• training     
• performance assessment.

Approximately 65 people will be accepted for the 5 days of program including:

•     Student poster sessions
•     Industry participation (through attendees and an Industry Forum)
•     Clinician participation
•     Social events and networking opportunities
•     Hands on activities in the laboratories at CSTAR and Robarts on the Campus of the University of Western Ontario."

The Canadian school enjoys the financial and professional support of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. Due to the renewed School Grant program, you can also apply with your robotic school idea! RASis seeking applications primarily from Asia.
