European Robotics Forum 2023

March 15th – Workshop on “Toward Multiscale Healthcare Robots”

Joint event between the Topic Groups Miniaturised Robotics & Healthcare Robotics

The objective of this workshop is to strengthen the interaction between the miniaturized robotics and the healthcare robotics communities. Developments in miniaturized robotics have resulted in multiple proofs-of-concept with great potential to be exploited in the healthcare domain. It concerns especially minimal-invasive surgery including (i) robotic intervention in confined space inside the body (e.g., in otolaryngology) and (ii) focused drug delivery via micro/nano-carriers (e.g., in the brain). It also finds application in cell engineering such as single cell sorting for biotherapies. This workshop will fill the gap and develop synergies between TG miniaturized robotics and TG healthcare robotics to promote and boost the development of multiscale robotic tools in healthcare.

Detailed programme

We are thrilled to join the 10th edition of the European Robotics Forum and to contribute in the organization of this workshop.  A cornerstone event for the European Robotics community. See you from 14 to 16 March in Odense (DK)!

Thermal X wins the Start Cup Veneto

Thermal X wins the Start Cup Veneto

6/10/2022

The first prize of the Start Cup Veneto 2022 goes to the ThermalX group of the IT department of the University of Verona and ALTAIR Robotics Lab.

Start Cup Veneto is the competition between innovative entrepreneurial ideas in the Veneto Region, it is financed and implemented by the universities of Verona, Padua and Iuav of Venice in collaboration with multiple partners, official site here

The ThermalX Team: Giacomo de Rossi, Claudia Daffara, Dumitru Scutelic, Salvatore Siracusano, Riccardo Muradore and Nicola Piccinelli. 

In addition to the first prize of the competition, worth 8,000 euros, ThermalX received the special prize in the Life Science category, worth 2,000 euros. The team was coordinated by Riccardo Muradore and Claudia Daffara, professors of the Computer Science Department, and consisted of Dumitru Scutelnic, PhD student in Computer Science, Giacomo De Rossi, research fellow in the Computer Science department and Nicola Piccinelli, PhD student in Computer Science and Salvatore Siracusano, professor at the University of L’Aquila.

The group proposed the design, construction and marketing of a new model of medical endoscope which combines the traditional three-dimensional vision available in MIS interventions with a 3D heat map superimposed on the image to provide temperature measurements where and when needed. Through innovative hardware and software, the thermal information provided by the ThermalX endoscope will allow to reduce the damages due to the use of the electrosurgical unit ensuring safer procedures for surgeons and reducing complications for patients.
