IEEE BioRob 2018, 26-29 August 2018, Enschede, the Netherlands
The seventh IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics – BIOROB 2018 – is a joint effort of the two IEEE Societies of Robotics and Automation (RAS) and Engineering in Medicine and Biology (EMBS).
BIOROB covers both theoretical and experimental challenges posed by the application of robotics and mechatronics in medicine and biology. The primary focus of Biorobotics is to analyze biological systems from a “biomechatronic” point of view, trying to understand the scientific and engineering principles underlying their extraordinary performance. This profound understanding of how biological systems work, behave and interact can be used for two main objectives: to guide the design and fabrication of novel, high performance bio-inspired machines and systems for many different applications; and to develop novel nano-, micro-, and macro- devices that can act upon, substitute parts of, and assist human beings in prevention, diagnosis, surgery, prosthetics, rehabilitation and personal assistance.

Venue
BIOROB 2018 will take place at the campus of the University of Twente, in Enschede, The Netherlands. The venue is two hours by train from Schiphol Airport that has frequent direct flights to most countries. With Enschede as the home base, BIOROB delegates are well positioned to explore the Netherlands before and after the BIOROB 2018.
