ISMR 2019 will feature\u0026nbsp;keynotes,\u0026nbsp;semi-plenary talks, and workshop(s), in addition to oral\/poster presentations. ISMR 2019 will bring\u0026nbsp;together people from engineering, medicine, and industry, who are working in various areas within the field of medical robotics, thereby creating\u0026nbsp;a common platform for exchanging ideas and fostering future developments in the field.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe goal of ISMR is to bring together world-class researchers to present state-of-the-art research achievements and advances in surgical robotics, image-guided interventions, rehabilitation and assistive robotics, and prosthetics, as well as discuss challenges from the clinical point of view and address industry needs. It is envisioned that medical robots will integrate emerging technologies including soft robotics, smart materials, ergonomics, co-robotics, and artificial intelligence in the near future, and these topics will be featured in the symposium.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPotential topics for the symposium submissions include, but are not limited to, state-of-the-art research achievements and advances in surgical robotics, rehabilitation and assistive robotics, prosthetics, image-guided interventions, haptics, safety of robotassisted procedures, training of medical personnel, and discussing potential challenges from the clinical point of view.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESymposium Paper Submission:\u003C\/strong\u003E Paper submissions and reviews will be handled through \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=ismr2019\u0022\u003EEasyChair\u003C\/a\u003E.
