15th Conference on New Technologies for Computer and Robot-Assisted Surgery

Join us for the upcoming 15th Conference on New Technologies for Computer and Robot - Assisted Surgery on 16 - 18 September 2026.

About the conference

Surgical robotics continues to transform clinical practice by providing surgical teams with advanced tools for improved safety, reproducibility, precision, and ergonomics. Over the past three decades, millions of patients have benefitted from robotically assisted procedures, and recent years have seen a surge in commercially available systems for diverse indications. Despite this progress, significant research opportunities remain, including: 

• Extending the benefit of robot-assisted manipulation to new indications for broader health impact. 
• Simplifying concepts and devices to make surgical robotics accessible to more clinical centres worldwide and not only in high-resource settings. 
• Opening new possibilities for surgeons to invent novel procedures through miniaturization, minimal invasiveness, and partial autonomy. 

This 15th edition of CRAS invites contributions that advance these goals using new technologies and approaches in robot assisted surgery.
