Medical Robotics Today and Future Directions

Modern medicine has developed rapidly with the scientific advances of the past century. From pioneering treatments in the battlefield to the creation of academic surgery, modern advances have ushered in new age for medical technologies, one that have moved past being regarded as just an accessory to medicine and instead are so far advanced that they stand in a league of their own.

This talk reviews several Medical technologies such as medical robotic systems that were developed by the speaker, some are already being used on a daily basis in operating rooms worldwide. Furthermore, fundamental work in biomechanics and gait analysis, that leads to the development of novel medical technologies, will also be presented.
