Title: The Future of Colonoscopy Brief abstract: Colonoscopy is utilized around the globe for evaluating the colon. Could colonoscopy be improved? Is it possible to make examining the colon better? Will colonoscopy even exist in five, ten, or twenty years? If you have ever wondered about health care technologies, your own health, or consider yourself...
Talk title: Endocisternal Brain Computer Interfaces Abstract: Brain Computer Interfaces are currently implanted in clinical trials using a range of surgical corridors (intracortical, subdural, extradural, endovascular). We will discuss the neurosurgical background and rationale for development of brain computer interfaces delivered using the cerebrospinal fluid spaces as as access corridors. Bio: Dr. William Muirhead is a Consultant Neurosurgeon...

Title: Complex Robotic Systems: Modeling, Control, and Planning using Dual Quaternion Algebra Summary/Abstract: As a result of more than sixty years of research, there are increasingly more robots working in human environments or alongside humans. With an increasing expectation that robots will actively interact with people and other robots in complex tasks in the homes and factories of...
Abstract: As robots become more integrated into daily life, they are expected to take on increasingly complex tasks in scenarios ranging from homes to industrial workplaces. A key challenge is enabling them to handle objects with the same dexterity and adaptability as humans. In this talk, I will share how my research draws inspiration from human...

She is a Mechanical Engineer who finished an MSc in Mechatronics and Robotics at the University of Leeds last year. Now, she has started her PhD in magnetic and sensorised soft vine robotics with the...
Abstract In the dynamic field of assistive technology, soft wearable exosuits represent a significant breakthrough, setting them apart from traditional rigid exoskeletons. However, the complexity of mastering soft structures is significant: it involves not just handling the non-linear dynamics of the device but also accurately interpreting the physiological signals that are crucial to the exploit...
