CPD Conferences

CRAS (the 15th Conference on New Technologies for Computer and Robot-Assisted Surgery) is an annual international forum uniting researchers, clinicians, and industry at the frontier of surgical robotics.

The programme will feature field-leading keynotes, and academic presentations and posters across novel robotic mechanisms, surgical autonomy, imaging and guidance, and human–robot interaction and haptics. An intimate, high-calibre setting, CRAS brings together the best students and researchers in medical robotics, ideal for access to outstanding talent.

Industrial financial support would be gratefully appreciated. 

All costs are inclusive of VAT.

Our key objective is to deliver a high‑quality conference that brings together researchers, academics and industry professionals from across the UK fluids community.
