Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Within the complex operation room (OR), smart sensor technology has the potential to reduce the mental load and improve patient outcomes. In future robotic systems in particular, smart sensors and actuators will play an important role in the development of automated surgery and tissue annotation, saving tissue instrument interaction, and monitoring staff dynamics for workflow optimization and body posture for improved ergonomics. Outside the OR, new sensor and actuation technology is needed for smart and affordable training hardware that allows for objective training assessment due to the use of performance metrics.
