Perceptions of Robots in Surgery
From WPI Automation and Interventional Medicine (AIM) Robotics Laboratory
The goal of this work is to study the conceptions about the use of robots in surgery. We are specifically investigating the differences in these perceptions among different patient and medical professional populations. The work is primarily focused on use of the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci Surgical System.
If you are interested in taking the general population survey, please go here: Survey
If you are a medical professional who works with the da Vinci system and would like to participate, please contact Professor Fischer.
