Research consortium – Seamless and ergonomic integration of robotics into clinical workflows (ForNeRo)
Client: Funded by the Bavarian Research Foundation
Research field: Robot-assisted surgery, HMI, robotics, augmented reality, machine learning
contact person: Manuel Ferle
Project period: 08/2023 - 07/2026

The introduction of robotic assistance systems into clinical workflows leads to a significant increase in technical, social, and organizational complexity in the operating room. With ForNeRo, we aim to improve the integration of these systems, taking into account the needs and capabilities of the operating room staff. This will be achieved with the support of machine learning, simulation, augmented reality, and user interface technologies. The focus of the research is on the optimal placement and use of the robotic systems.
