POLIMI Near Lab, along with Altair Robotics Lab, Department of Computer Science, University of Verona, Italy & Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia – Genova, Italy, through EL.I.S.A.(ELectric Impedance Sensing for Surgical Applications Impedance Sensing for Surgical Applications) project are the finalist of the international competition for academia and industry Surgical Robot Challenge 2018. EL.I.S.A.'s work is supported by SMARTsurg and ARS H2020 projects.
Since the last newsletter, the Consortium partners have worked to set up the functional view of the SMARTsurg system’s architecture and the requirements and specifications of the system and the Head Mounted Display (HMD).
The latest achievements are detailed in the present newsletter.
Zoe Doulgeri and Theodora Kastritsi presented the following paper “On the Stability of Robot Kinesthetic Guidance in the Presence of Active Constraints" at 2018 European Control Conference (ECC 18).
The third plenary meeting of the SMARTsurg project was hosted by Optivent in Rennes, France on February 15-16, 2018.
In the frame of European Robotics Forum (ERF) 2018 (Tampere, Finland, March 13-15, 2018) SMARTsurg partners (UWE-Bristol Robotic Laboratory and Politecnico di Milano) co-organized and participated to the Workshop on Networking for new trends in surgical robotics. Sanja Dogramadzi, Bristol Robotic Laboratory, UK, presented SMARTsurg.
