Stanford hosts tours for IROS attendees.

September 25-30, 2011

The CHARM Lab attended the 2011 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in San Francisco. Ann Majewicz and Tom Wedlick presented posters at the Workshop on Image-Guided Medical Robotic Interventions. Allison presented an invited talk at the Workshop on Methods for Safer Surgical Robotics Procedures. Yoshihiko Koseki, who was a visitor to the Johns Hopkins University Haptics Lab from 2010-2011, presented his paper (co-authored with Danilo De Lorenzo, Kiyo Chinzei, and Allison) entitled "Coaxial needle insertion assistant for epidural puncture".

We also had a demonstration, "A Robotic System for Needle Steering", in collaboration with Ken Goldberg's lab at UC Berkeley. Ann coordinated the demo.
