Overview

In the fast-evolving domain of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS), recent strides have paved the path for innovative robotic platforms that offer access to intricate surgical sites via single-incision or natural orifices. Yet, significant challenges in precise control, advanced perception, interactive simulation, and cognition continue to restrain the full potential of these systems in the complexity of live surgery. The conceptualization of embodied artificial intelligence (AI) offers a beacon of hope, with its capacity for autonomous adaption to the dynamic environment of surgical tasks.

Aim and Scope

The 3rd Workshop on C4SR+: Continuum, Compliant, Cooperative, Cognitive Surgical Robotic Systems in the Embodied AI Era aims to be at the forefront of tackling these challenges by converging leaders in the field to discuss the harmonization of cutting-edge C4SR technologies with embodied AI methods. The workshop’s objective is to drive cross-disciplinary dialogue, spotlight breakthroughs, and explore the synergy between Continuum, Compliant, Cooperative, and Cognitive robots, combined with embodied AI to revolutionize surgical precision and proficiency.

Embark on a collaborative journey with us to redefine the future of RMIS, fostering advancements that promise heightened surgical effectiveness and enriched surgeon-robot symbiosis.
