Automation and robotics are becoming increasingly important in the operating room. While robotics has its strength in high repeatability and efficiency without fatigue, only a surgeon can react appropriately to unexpected events during an operation.
Robotics is therefore no longer simply an autonomous tool - rather, a major challenge lies in supporting the synergy of surgeon and technology.
In this context, this focus group aims to bring together interested parties (Surgeons, Engineers, Researchers, Students, Academicians, Industry, IT professionals) with the following objectives.
