Following the success of our workshop in January 2023, we are excited to announce the next gathering. We appreciated reconnecting earlier and hope to further strengthen our community ties in the upcoming event. On Monday, 8th January 2024, we are planning to host the Leeds Robotics Workshop 2024. We invite all academics, PDRAs, and PGRs from...
From the Renaissance barber to the autonomous robot for a safer surgery, Elena De Momi Abstract The lecture will narrate the progress of surgery in time in order to show how robots could answer to the surgeon needs for a safer intervention, from open surgery, to minimally invasive and endoluminal approaches. The span of possible...

Abstract Autonomous miniature robots are long-awaited in urban search and rescue to provide crucial functions such as navigation through narrow spaces, under rubbles, obstacle avoidance, victim detection, location report and communication. State-of-the-art technology has made mini-insect-scale robots that crawl or fly in untethered conditions. However, they are not capable of autonomous navigation inside an unknown...
Dr Sheila Russo Title Soft Material Robotics and Next-Generation Surgical Robots Abstract Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures pose significant challenges for robots, which need to safely navigate through and manipulate delicate anatomy while performing complex tasks to treat tumors in remote areas. Soft robots hold considerable potential in MIS given their compliant nature, inherent safety,...
