DESCRIPTION:\n	CIM Seminar in Robotic Mechanical Systems \n\n\n \n\n\n	Speake
 r: Prof. Tamas Haidegger\n\n	Obuda University\, \n\n	University Research and
  Innovation Center \n\n	Budapest\, Hungary\n\n	 \n\n	 \n\n	Abstract:\n\n	The gl
 obal scale adoption of robotics in the data age brings new challenges to r
 esearchers and engineers. Through the improved autonomy of systems\, safet
 y and reliability is becoming a major issue. This is becoming very visible
  in safety-critical domains\, such as medicine or food processing. Even to
 day\, commercialized surgical robot systems are almost exclusively based o
 n human-in-the-loop control or deterministic algorithmic solutions (such a
 s registration techniques for image-guided technologies)\, and adaptive de
 cision making expert systems are lagging. AI shows very promising results 
 in the critical parts of surgery\, such as vision\, decision support\, rea
 soning\, diagnosis and situation awareness. AI can reduce the complexity o
 f intra-operative workflow\, provide prediction of patient outcome\, effic
 iency enhancement postoperative reporting.\n\n	AI-based solutions can creat
 e a completely new sub-field\, dubbed autonomous robotics\, where the syst
 ems can provide autonomy supported by proper decision making and problem-s
 olving capabilities. Similar approaches can be applied to the food process
 ing industry\, where the autonomous execution of subtasks is sought due to
  the increasing labor shortage. A particularly successful application from
  the red meat industry is to be presented. \n\n	 \n\n	 \n\n	Bio:\n\n	Tamás Hai
 degger received his MSc degrees from the Budapest University of Technology
  and Economics (BME) in Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering\
 , then PhD in medical robotics. His main field of research is on medical t
 echnologies\, control/teleoperation of surgical robots\, image-guided ther
 apy and digital health technologies. Currently\, he is associate professor
  at Óbuda University\, serving as the director of the University Research 
 and Innovation Center (EKIK)\, and as the technical lead of medical roboti
 cs research at the Antal Bejczy Center for Intelligent Robotics. Besides\,
  he is a research area manager at the Austrian Center of Medical Innovatio
 n and Technology (ACMIT)\, working on minimally invasive surgical simulati
 on and training\, medical robotics and usability/workflow assessment throu
 gh ontologies.\n\n	He is the co-founder of a university spin-off—HandInScan
 —focusing on objective hand hygiene control in the medical environment\, m
 ember of the World Health Organization POPS group. He is an active member 
 of various other professional organizations\, including the IEEE Robotics 
 and Automation Society (serving as an associate VP)\, IEEE SMC\, IEEE EMBC
 \, IEEE SA and euRobotics aisbl\, holding leadership positions in the IEEE
  Hungary Section as well. He is a national delegate to the ISO TC299 stand
 ardization committee focusing on the safety and performance of medical rob
 ots and the ISO TC 304 working on hand hygiene and patient safety standard
 s\, furthermore\, involved in the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Auto
 nomous and Intelligent Systems. He is co-Editor-in-Chief of Acta Polytechn
 ica Hungarica and Associate Editor to the IEEE Trans. on Medical Robotics 
 and Bionics\, the IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine and the Intl. J. o
 f Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery.\n\n	Dr. Haidegger is the author 
 and co-author of over 250 scientific papers\, books\, articles across the 
 various domains of biomedical engineering\, with over 2000 independent cit
 ations to his work. He has been running a professional blog on medical rob
 otic technologies for over 15 years.\n\n
