Discussion
Abstract:
With the advent of an aging society all over the world, there will be an increased demand for the practical application of RT (Robot Technology) in medical fields – in fact, it is expected that this demand will lead to the creation of new key industries in future. Thus, the main objectives of this workshop are to discuss the future trend on medical robot (especially, rehabilitation, assistive, surgical, diagnosis robot) as well as the innovative and interesting research activities in robotics.
Since the dissemination of medical RT will have a wide-ranging effect on people and society, the integration of a variety of academic fields is also needed, including robotics, mechatronics, rehabilitation, medicine, physiology and neuroscience, etc. Then, technical topics include various topics such as surgical and diagnostic robot, assistive and rehabilitation robot, neuro rehabilitaion, biomenchanical model and modeling and control for medical robot.
We will highlight the most innovative and interesting multidisciplinary research activities related with medical robotics. From the discussion, we plan to discuss and find future trend on medical robotics. We also discuss about how to do multidisciplinary research activities because most of useful robot in society may be generated only from multidisciplinary researches. Our goal is to increase the focus on the fundamental technology for medical robotics for the purpose to accelerate the actual application of RT world widely and to foster young researchers to work on RT with a multidisciplinary perspective.
