Artificial intelligence is on everyone's lips. But it is still mostly us humans who transfer digital information from the internet or other sources into the physical world. Robots have the potential to usher in the next industrial revolution. This is possible because robots can implement processes and information from the digital space in the physical world and feed them back into the digital world using sensors and real-time data processing. Robots can close the digital information cycle. As with any technology, there are advantages and disadvantages. While some people are now worried about their jobs, we at the BIROMED Lab in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Basel are trying to create new opportunities for medical staff and the medical industry. My outlook on a future with medical robots is intended to show that closing the digital information cycle from diagnosis to procedure planning to surgery offers great opportunities. Patients should receive a more predictable outcome, as the procedure can be performed as planned. After all, who wants to go through a situation with an uncertain outcome?
In this presentation, Prof. Rauter will show current projects in rehabilitation robotics, surgical robotics, and laboratory automation with the pharmaceutical industry from his laboratory and give an outlook on what you can expect in a future with medical robotics.
