Robotics Colloquium: Guest Speaker - Andrew W. Grande
Title: Robotics for the treatment of stroke
Abstract: I will discuss the parallel evolution of stroke treatment and robotics in neurosurgery. I will discuss some past and current attempts to implement surgical robotics and some challenges with their adoption. I will then move on to a unique opportunity today where the needs of stroke treatment and current robotic technologies are an ideal marriage for robotic stroke treatment.
