BioRob 2012 - 4th IEEE RAS & EMBS Intl Conf on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics
From June 24th to June 28th in Roma, Italy
BioRob covers both theoretical and experimental challenges posed by the application of robotics and mechatronics in medicine and biology. The primary focus of Biorobotics is to analyze biological systems from a "biomechatronic" point of view, trying to understand the scientific and engineering principles underlying their extraordinary performance. Biorobotic systems can also be used as powerful experimental platforms for investigations in the biological domain, e.g. for basic research in neuroscience. This profound understanding of how biological systems work, behave and interact can be used for two main objectives: to guide the design and fabrication of novel, high performance bio-inspired machines and systems, for many different applications; and to develop novel nano, micro-, macro- devices that can act upon, substitute parts of, and assist human beings in prevention, diagnosis, surgery, prosthetics, rehabilitation and personal assistance. BioRob is a highly interdisciplinary conference that brings together scientists and engineers from different backgrounds to share and learn about research activities in this fast growing field. Paper Submission Deadline: 15 January 2012
