Robotics in healthcare
- Date: Wednesday 21 February 2018, 12:00 – 13:00
- Location: Engineering Building
- Cost: Free event
Professor Sanja Dogramadzi from the Bristol Robotics Lab will give an overview of their healthcare robotics portfolio that spans from surgical to assisted living robots.
The fast and widespread use of robotic technologies in healthcare applications aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce NHS costs. The robotic technologies include soft sensors and actuators, complex robotic system design and control, haptics, machine learning and sensor processing.
This presentation will also discuss robotic systems to support radiotherapy.
