Abstract The human hand is the pinnacle of dexterity – it has the ability to powerfully grasp a wide range of object sizes and shapes as well as delicately manipulate objects held within the fingertips.[…]
Abstract Photoacoustic imaging has gained widespread popularity in molecular and preclinical applications, yet it is often excluded from conversations among primary care physicians, surgeons, and interventional radiologists. As an imaging modality that relies on[…]
Abstract Legged mobility has long been among key research areas in mobile robotics. In this context, accurate dynamic models of locomotory behaviors provide tools that are useful both in understanding biological systems as well as[…]
Abstract The clinical applications of surgical robotics have advanced greatly over the past two decades. Intuitive Surgical and the da Vinci platform have been the dominant company and system commercially in the field of surgical[…]
Abstract As robotic systems are moving from well controlled settings to unstructured environments, they are required to operate in dynamic and cluttered scenes. Finding an object, estimating its pose, and tracking the pose over time[…]

Abstract Socially assistive robotics (SAR) is a new subfield of robotics that bridges human-robot interaction (HRI), rehabilitation robotics, social robotics, and service robotics. SAR focuses on developing machines capable of assisting users, typically in health and education[…]
Speaker Bio Dr. James R. Schatz received his Doctorate in Mathematics from Syracuse University in 1979. His dissertation area was the theory of error-correcting codes and his advisor was H.F. Mattson. Upon graduation in[…]
Abstract Collaboration across medical and engineering disciplines is often vital to success in establishing hi-tech solutions to challenges in clinical care. The motivations and goals of these collaborations will be presented. Understanding the differences in[…]
