Workshop Overview
Medical robotics is rapidly transforming modern healthcare by enabling precise, minimally invasive, and patient-specific interventions. With the integration of advanced sensing, control, and machine learning techniques, robotic systems are now capable of performing complex diagnostic and therapeutic tasks with increasing autonomy and reliability. This workshop aims to highlight recent research advancements, emerging clinical applications, and translational challenges in medical robotics.
The session will cover topics such as robot-assisted surgery, ultrasound-guided interventions, robot-assisted rehabilitation, learning-based control, and human-robot interaction in medical settings.
Emphasis will also be placed on the development of affordable and context-sensitive solutions suitable for resource-constrained settings like rural healthcare in India. Through a combination of expert talks, interactive discussion, and Q&A, this workshop will bring together researchers, clinicians, and engineers to share knowledge and explore opportunities for collaboration.
This workshop will serve as a platform for young researchers and students to gain insights from leading experts, understand clinical needs, and explore avenues for impactful research.
