Russ Taylor: The role of AI in Robotic Surgery

Russ Taylor is the father of robotic surgery. Hi is the John C. Malone Professor in the Department of Computer Science, and the director of the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics. His research has focused on all aspects of computer-integrated interventional medicine. Broadly, this research has included:

• Medical robotics
• Medical imaging & modeling and
• Complete systems for surgical assistance, image-guided surgery, and "Surgical CAD/CAM".

An underlying theme has been the basic insight that information-based technologies can have just as profound an impact on computer-integrated medicine as it has had on computer-integrated manufacturing.
