Workshop on Surgical Robotics

该奖项将支持为期三天的机器人外科应用研讨会，还将涵盖先进传感器、实时计算、以及相关技术。研讨会将于1993年在华盛顿特区举行。讲习班的目标是：1)查明近年来在这一领域取得的进展；2)确定取得进展的主要障碍，并确定克服这些障碍所需的研究；以及3)确定新兴技术创造的新的研究机会。这次研讨会很重要，因为将要涵盖的领域是一个新兴领域，需要跨学科研究来推动技术进步。参与者将包括研究人员、最终用户和来自外科设备制造商、医院、和监管机构。将撰写一份报告，总结研讨会的结果。

This award will support a three day workshop on surgical applications of robotics, and also will cover advanced sensors, real-time computing, and related technologies. The workshop will be held in Washington, DC in 1993. The goals of the workshop are: 1) to identify the progress made in the field in recent years; 2) to identify the major obstacles to progress and determine the research required to overcome the obstacles; and 3) to identify new research opportunities created by emerging technologies. This workshop is important since the area that will be covered is an emerging one that requires interdisciplinary research to advance technology. The participants will include researchers, end users, and representatives from surgical device manufacturers, hospitals, and regulatory agencies. A report will be written that will summarize the results of the workshop.
