"A Research Roadmap for Medical
and Healthcare Robotics"
June
19-20, 2008
Westin Arlington, Washington DC
Co-Chairs:
Allison Okamura, Johns Hopkins University
Maja Mataric', University of Southern California
Henrik Christensen, Georgia Tech
Introduction
This one-and-a-half-day CCC/CRA sponsored workshop will (1) identify a
focused set of major US research goals for medical and healthcare
robotics, and (2) develop a roadmap for achieving these research goals
in the coming decade. The workshop will include US leaders in academia,
industry, and government. Although the US robotics research community
is highly diversified, analogous efforts in Europe and Japan to reach
consensus and develop unified research roadmaps for their regions have
been extremely successful in creating new partnerships and attracting
major research funding. Results of this workshop will be presented to
US government agencies.
