Fourth Biennial North American Summer School on Surgical Robotics

描述(由申请人提供)：这份R13提案寻求为第四届北美外科机器人双年一度的暑期学校提供部分资金。该学院将为研究生、博士后研究员和其他在该领域处于研究早期阶段或正寻求扩大其在该领域的专业知识的研究人员提供高质量的跨学科教育。外科机器人作为一个研究领域，需要独特的交叉 包含工程、物理、医学和生物科学要素的学科培训。我们将提供教程、实验室经验以及概念化和设计机器人和计算机辅助医疗干预系统的机会。NAS MR/CIIS的一个显著特点是，它将提供设计系统的技术，包括计算模型/数据和干预技术。从广泛的角度来看，该学院的目标是促进外科机器人及其相关领域的研究和教育的增长。具体目标如下：1.通过提供一门将工程学和临床医学结合在一起的短期课程，提供该领域任何单一机构都没有的学习机会，以促进外科机器人领域的发展。2.通过在资深研究人员和该领域的新手之间建立联系，培养下一代外科机器人研究人员，并鼓励增加该领域的多样性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 proposal seeks partial funding for the 4th Biennial North American Summer School in Surgical Robotics. The School will provide high quality, trans-disciplinary education to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and other researchers who are in the early stages of their research in this area or who are seeking to broaden their expertise in the field. Surgical robotics, as a field of study, requires unique cross disciplinary training that encompasses elements of engineering, physical, medical, and biological sciences. We will provide tutorials, laboratory experiences, and opportunities to conceptualize and design systems for robotic and computer-assisted medical interventions. A distinguishing feature of the NAS MR/CIIS is that it will provide exposure to techniques for designing systems that include both computational models/data and interventional technologies. From a broad perspective, the goal of the School is to promote the growth of research and education in surgical robotics and allied fields. The specific aims are as follows: 1. To foster growth in the field of surgical robotics by providing a short course that marries engineering and clinical medicine to present a learning opportunity not generally available within any single institution in the field. 2. To nurture the next generation of surgical robotics researchers and encourage an increase in diversity within the field by establishing connections between senior researchers and newcomers to the field.
