ICRA 2010 Workshop on Medical Cyber-Physical Systems

Date: May 06, 2010 7:00 pm – May 06, 2010 7:00 pm

ICRA 2010 Workshop on Workshop on Medical Cyber-Physical Systems May 7, 2010, Anchorage, Alaska, USA
Early Registration Deadline: March 31, 2010
Workshop Website: http://robotics.case.edu/ICRA2010/MedicalCyberPhysicalSystems.html
The integration of computation with physical systems has the potential to improve speed, precision, and dexterity during robot-assisted surgery as well as enable new medical procedures. This full-day workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss new and emerging algorithms, devices, sensors, and user interfaces for medical cyber-physical systems, including robotic surgical assistants and other medical robotic systems. We will focus on both computation to improve the planning, control, and effectiveness of these systems as well as new devices and hardware that enable more dexterity and better sensing. We will share, discuss, and develop new ideas regarding the following major research challenges in medical cyber-physical systems: planning and automating surgical tasks; guidance via imaging, vision, and novel sensors; modeling and descriptions of surgical tasks; interoperable tele-operation for telesurgery; tissue models for control and design of interventional systems; beating heart surgery; advanced user interfaces for medical devices; and benchmarks for evaluation of surgical performance.
