2027 International Symposium on Medical Robotics (April 27-29, 2027) and 2027 Spring School on Medical Robotics (April 26, 2027)
The 2027 International Symposium on Medical Robotics (ISMR) will be held in Nashville, Tennessee, at Vanderbilt University from April 27-29, 2027. The symposium will begin with the workshop(s)/tutorial(s) held on April 27, and the subsequent single-track symposium presentations from April 28-29. This symposium will feature invited talks and workshops in addition to single-track oral/poster presentations of original research.
The biennial Spring School on Medical Robotics (SSMR) will take place on April 26, 2027, immediately before ISMR. Details of the school program, venue, and registration will be announced on the event website.
The goal of ISMR is to bring together world-class researchers to present state-of-the-art research achievements and advances in surgical robotics, image-guided interventions, rehabilitation and assistive robotics, and prosthetics, as well as discuss challenges from the clinical point of view and address industry needs. It is envisioned that medical robots will integrate emerging technologies including soft robotics, smart materials, ergonomics, co-robotics, and artificial intelligence in the near future, and these topics will be featured in the symposium.
Potential topics for the symposium submissions include, but are not limited to, state-of-the-art research achievements and advances in surgical robotics, rehabilitation and assistive robotics, prosthetics, image-guided interventions, haptics, safety of robot-assisted procedures, training of medical personnel, and discussing potential challenges from the clinical point of view.
