The eighth IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics – BioRob2020 – is a joint effort of the two IEEE Societies of Robotics and Automation – RAS – and Engineering in Medicine and Biology – EMBS.
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. 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-, and macro- devices that can act upon, substitute parts of, and assist human beings in prevention, diagnosis, surgery, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and personal assistance.
Special Section on Surgical Vision, Navigation, and Robotics.
Guest Editors: Xiongbiao Luo, Xiamen University, China, Danail Stoyanov, University College London, UK, Nobuhiko Hata, Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA, and Alejandro F. Frangi, University of Leeds, UK, and KU Leuven, Belgium.
Senior Guest Editors (providing experienced support and the editorial oversight): Guang-Zhong Yang, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, Russell H. Taylor, Johns Hopkins University, Washington D.C., USA, and Terry M. Peters, Western University, Canada.
