These robots can autonomously perform tedious subtasks such as suturing and debr idement to improve consistency and reduce fatigue\, analogous to advances in automotive anti-skid braking and intelligent lane-keeping systems. New companies and labs are using Recent advances in AI and deep learning are b eing applied by researchers and companies worldwide to develop this new ge neration robots\, which also opens the door to\nlong-distance tele-surgery .\n\nIn this talk I'll present recent advances from our lab including nove l hardware and software with applications to cutting\, suturing\, palpatio n\, dissection\, retraction\, debridement and a recent result --"Superhuma n Peg Transfer"\, where a robot autonomously performs a standard surgical task with accuracy and speed on par with a surgeon and with significantly more consistency:\n\nThe Robot Surgeon Will See You Now (NY Times\, 30 Apr il 2021): https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/technology/robot-surgery-surg eon.html\n\nPartial Biography: Award-winning Roboticist\, Filmmaker\, and UC Berkeley Engineering Professor Ken Goldberg is a popular public speaker who combines compelling images and videos in dynamic presentations on eme rging AI and Robotics technologies\, sharing insights about what isn’t n ew\, what is new\, and how we can prepare for the future.\n\nKen trains th e next generation of researchers and entrepreneurs in his research lab at UC Berkeley\; he has published over 300 papers in robotics and social medi a and holds 8 US Patents\, which have been cited in over 15\,000 publicati ons. Ken is co-founder and Chief Scientist at Ambi Robotics ([http://ambir obotics.com](http://ambirobotics.com/)) and is on the advisory board of th e RoboGlobal ETF.\n\nKen was awarded the NSF Presidential Faculty Fellowsh ip from President Bill Clinton in 1995 and elected IEEE Fellow in 2005.\n\ nHome Page: http://goldberg.berkeley.edu/\n\nCo-sponsored by: Boise Sectio n RAS\n\nSpeaker(s): Ken Goldberg\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:30 PM Introduction (To m Coughlin)\n\n6:45 PM Presentation (Ken Goldberg)\n\n7:45 PM Q&A and Disc ussion\n\nSan Jose\, California\, United States\, Virtual: https://events. vtools.ieee.org/m/303347 LOCATION:San Jose\, California\, United States\, Virtual: https://events.vt ools.ieee.org/m/303347 ORGANIZER:tom@tomcoughlin.com SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:Robot Surgery Talk for the SCV Robotics and Automation Society Chap ter Meeting URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/303347 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The Cutting Edge of Robot Surgery</p>\n<p> Ken Goldberg\, UC Berkeley</p>\n<p>Talk Abstract: &nbsp\;To improve patien t care\, a new generation of robots is being developed&nbsp\;to actively a ssist surgeons in the operating room.&nbsp\; These robots can&nbsp\;autono mously perform tedious subtasks such as suturing and debridement&nbsp\;to improve consistency and reduce fatigue\, analogous to advances in&nbsp\;au tomotive anti-skid braking and intelligent lane-keeping systems. &nbsp\;Ne w companies and labs are using Recent advances in AI and deep&nbsp\;learni ng are being applied by researchers and companies worldwide to&nbsp\;devel op this new generation robots\, which also opens the door to<br />long-dis tance tele-surgery.</p>\n<p>In this talk I'll present recent advances from our lab including novel&nbsp\;hardware and software with applications to cutting\, suturing\,&nbsp\;palpation\, dissection\, retraction\, debrideme nt and a recent result --"Superhuman Peg Transfer"\, where a robot autonom ously performs a&nbsp\;standard surgical task with accuracy and speed on p ar with a surgeon&nbsp\;and with significantly more consistency:</p>\n<p>T he Robot Surgeon Will See You Now (NY Times\, 30 April 2021): &nbsp\;&nbsp \;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/technology/robot-surgery-sur geon.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/technolog y/robot-surgery-surgeon.html&amp\;source=gmail&amp\;ust=1643816000013000&a mp\;usg=AOvVaw1Ncu1Wv9UfV1aWggurjk9n">https://www.nytimes.com/2021/<wbr /> 04/30/technology/robot-surgery<wbr />-surgeon.html</a></p>\n<p>Partial Bio graphy: &nbsp\;&nbsp\;Award-winning Roboticist\, Filmmaker\, and UC Berkel ey Engineering&nbsp\;Professor Ken Goldberg is a popular public speaker wh o combines&nbsp\;compelling images and videos in dynamic presentations on emerging AI&nbsp\;and Robotics technologies\, sharing insights about what isn&rsquo\;t new\, what&nbsp\;is new\, and how we can prepare for the futu re.</p>\n<p>Ken trains the next generation of researchers and entrepreneur s in his&nbsp\;&nbsp\;research lab at UC Berkeley\; he has published over 300 papers in&nbsp\;robotics and social media and holds 8 US Patents\, whi ch have been&nbsp\;cited in over 15\,000 publications.&nbsp\; Ken is co-fo under and Chief Scientist at&nbsp\;Ambi Robotics (<a href="http://ambirobo tics.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=http://ambirobotics.com&amp\;source=gmail&am p\;ust=1643816000013000&amp\;usg=AOvVaw1m3_GkrLhBaO3jLNe6przR">http://ambi robotics.com</a>) and is on the advisory board of the RoboGlobal ETF.</p>\ n<p>Ken was awarded the NSF Presidential Faculty Fellowship from President &nbsp\;Bill Clinton in 1995 and elected IEEE Fellow in 2005.</p>\n<p>Home Page: &nbsp\;<a href="http://goldberg.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel=" noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=ht tp://goldberg.berkeley.edu/&amp\;source=gmail&amp\;ust=1643816000013000&am p\;usg=AOvVaw2hd4tdu-EzrIAECWfsfMKj">http://goldberg.berkeley.edu/</a></p> <br /><br />Agenda: <br /><p>6:30 PM &nbsp\;Introduction (Tom Coughlin)</p >\n<p>6:45 PM Presentation (Ken Goldberg)</p>\n<p>7:45 PM Q&amp\;A and Dis cussion</p> END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
