2025 International Symposium on Medical Robotics
(May 14-16, 2025) & 2025 Spring School on Medical Robotics (May 17-18, 2025)

The 2025 International Symposium on Medical Robotics (ISMR) will be held on the campus of Georgia Tech from May 14-16, 2025. The symposium will begin with the workshop(s)/tutorial(s) held on May 14 and the subsequent single-track symposium presentations will be at the Kendeda Building at Georgia Tech from May 15-16. This symposium will feature invited talk(s) and workshops in addition to single-track oral/poster presentations of original research. 

As in the past, we also have the biennial school on medical robotics. In 2025, the Spring School on Medical Robotics (SSMR) will be from May 17-18, 2025, on the campus of Georgia Tech and will feature several invited speakers. 2025 ISMR and SSMR have been planned to be back-to-back with 2025 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), which will be held in Atlanta, GA, USA from May 19-23, 2025.

The goal of ISMR is to bring together world-class researchers to present state-of-the-art research achievements and advances in surgical robotics, image-guided interventions, rehabilitation and assistive robotics, and prosthetics, as well as discuss challenges from the clinical point of view and address industry needs. It is envisioned that medical robots will integrate emerging technologies including soft robotics, smart materials, ergonomics, co-robotics, and artificial intelligence in the near future, and these topics will be featured in the symposium.

Potential topics for the symposium submissions include, but are not limited to, state-of-the-art research achievements and advances in surgical robotics, rehabilitation and assistive robotics, prosthetics, image-guided interventions, haptics, safety of robot-assisted procedures, training of medical personnel, and discussing potential challenges from the clinical point of view.
