The International Symposium on Assistive and Recuperative Technologies for Injured,
ill, Pregnant, Elderly and people with Disabilities ARTIPED
www.artiped.info/artiped09.html
to be held in Iasi, Romania, July 23-25, 2009
focus: technologies benefiting from the revolution in robotics and prosthetic devices..

Sill working on program.

A special focus of the 2009 ARTIPED is on technologies benefiting from the
revolution in robotics and prosthetic devices. Thus, special sessions will be
organized on the following topics:
  * Therapeutic and surgery robots for minimally invasive and remote operation
procedures;
  * Assistive and caregiving robotics and systems;
  * Endoprosthetic devices, technologies and procedures for restoring functionality
  * Exoprosthetic devices, technologies and procedures, exoskeletons and other
systems for restoring mobility;
  * Prosthetic technologies for systems for coping with perception, control and
communication impairments (hearing, speech, and vision assistive systems,
brain-machine interfaces  and control, neuro-robotics),
  * Robotics and automation in genetic/stem cell/tissue engineering, intelligent
information processing in new devices and robots,

Broader areas of interest in which submissions are also sought are the development
and use of
  * new materials and structures, procedures, robotics and prosthetic devices,
information technologies supporting diagnostic and intervention, computerized
diagnostic, monitoring and therapy, organ/tissue/blood/marrow preservation
/banks;
  * biotechnologies,  managed healthcare,  neuro-robotics,  biofeedback devices,
bioinformatics, human genetic engineering, genetic technologies for therapy and
enhancement;
  * new techniques and technologies in neurosurgery, brain implants,
neuro/brain-machine interfaces  and control,  stem cells engineering, tissue
engineering, artificial and bio-artificial organs,  novel medical devices and
systems, etc.
