Surgical Robotics, IEEE Robotics and Automation Technical Committee on
"The impact of robotic systems and devices on surgery in the next 25 years promises to be as comparable to that of manufacturing robots on industrial production over the past 25 years. By extending human surgeons' ability to plan and carry out surgical interventions more accurately and less invasively, surgical robotic systems can address a vital international need to greatly reduce costs, improve clinical outcomes, and improve the efficiency of health care delivery. The Technical Committee on Surgical Robotics will aim at fostering the exchanges among surgical robotics researchers, through scientific events and publications, at favoring the discussion on the technical and applicative problems, through meetings and Internet forums, and at providing researchers with helpful tools for their activity. The Technical Committee will actively work to organize Workshops and Tutorials at RAS Conferences, such as ICRA and IROS, and at other RAS-sponsored meetings; to organize dedicated conferences, and to promote special conference sessions and special issues of international Journals."
