Robots Podcast #159: Computer-assisted surgery
28 June 2014, 3:47 pm

 

In Robots Podcast #159, Ron Vanderkley speaks to Prof. Karol Miller, Director of the Intelligent Systems for Medicine Lab and the Computational Geomechanics Laboratory at the University of Western Australia, and a specialist in the area of modelling and computer simulation in biomechanics, about medical robotics and how doctors and patients perceive its role and use. Central to his work are mathematical models of soft tissue (brain, liver, etc.) that can be used for robot-assisted surgery by providing fast and accurate feedback. He also discusses the potential and challenges in making surgery fully autonomous, and how his computational tools could be used to build transformer-like robots that can reassemble to adapt to new tasks.Read On | Tune In
