Dear Colleagues, Robotics is currently running a Special Issue entitled "Medical Robotics: Advances in Training, Ergonomics, Sensing, Control and Other Areas". Dr. Abhilash Pandya and Dr. Luke Reisner, both from Wayne State University, are serving as Guest Editors for this issue.
We predict that technology-assisted medicine (and robotics in particular) will have a significant impact on health care over the next few decades. Robots will augment the surgeon’s senses, motor performance, and diagnostic capability. There are some major areas of technological improvement needed for this technology to reach its ultimate potential, which include better automation, visualization, tactile sensing, diagnostic sensing, human-robot interfaces, and miniaturization, among others. This Special Issue will focus on the latest advancements in robotic surgery and its associated leveraging areas. For further reading, please follow the link to the Special Issue Website at: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/robotics/special_issues/medicalrobotics. The submission deadline is 30 June 2018. You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send a short abstract or tentative title to the Editorial Office in advance (robot...@mdpi.com). Since Volume 6, all the published papers will be added in Scopus. The journal is also indexed in Web of Sciences (Thomson Reuters), as part of the ESCI database. Robotics is fully open access. Open access (unlimited and free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors and their institutes. An Article Processing Charge (APC) of CHF 350 currently applies to all accepted papers. For further details on the submission process, please see the instructions for authors at the journal website. We look forward to hearing from you.
