A robot performing surgery on humans. What sounds like science fiction could provide support to physicians in the operating room in future. In the “ForNeRo – Seamless and Ergonomic Integration of Robotics into the Clinical Workflow” research network, researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and five other research institutions and five companies are developing methods for integrating robotic assistance systems for surgical applications using intuitive interfaces in the operating room. The project is set to receive around 2 million euros of funding from the Bavarian Research Foundation because of its innovative approach.
Around one third of people with heart disease suffer from sleep problems.
