Robotics allows surgeons to improve the quality of many critical tasks and make possible interventions that otherwise would not be possible. Robotic Surgery and Image Guided Interventions is effective any time the sensing subsystem provides all the information the surgeon needs to execute safely, accurately and quickly the surgical tasks. Nowadays robot prototypes can be used to perform autonomous or teleoperated US/MRI-guided insertion of needle/tool and vision-based suturing. The objectives of this workshop are: to provide an updated state of the art review of existing systems around the world, to highlight the relationship between advanced robotic systems and ad-hoc multi-modal user interfaces, to point out the challenges to be addressed on the near future from both the medical point of view and the engineering point of view, to emphasize the economic and social opportunities behind multi-modal robotic surgery and interventions systems.
