| BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION |
| |
The CNRS is a cross-faculty research centre of the University of Montpellier II ( UMII) and the French National Centre for Scientific Research ( CNRS). The CNRS's research activities position the CNRS at the heart of Information and Communications Sciences and Technologies (STIC), established as a national priority of the French government in 2000. Research at CNRS spans from biology, chemistry, telecommunications, documentation, to the medical field, as well as in domains more specifically related to each research department (Computer science, Microelectronics, and Robotics). |
|
| |
The CNRS brings together 95 faculty members, 29 researchers from CNRS and INRIA, 28 technical and administrative staff, and 134 PhD students, meaning up to 300 persons including post-docs and visiting researchers. The Robotics Department of the CNRS has a staff of 25 persons (17 faculty members, 6 CNRS researchers, and 2 INRIA researchers), and 35 PhD students. |

| MAIN TASKS WITHIN THE PROJECT |
CNRS will be mainly involved in the synthesis of the control architecture and the design of the teloperation controller (WP7). As leader of WP7, the CNRS will also be involved in the Medical and Technological Background (WP2), the Surgical Method and System Architecture (WP3), the System Integration (WP9) and the Assessment and Validation of Surgical Procedures (WP10). In addition, CNRS will be responsible for Training actions (in WP11). |
| |
|
| |
| PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE |
The medical robotics group has been involved as leader or partner in several national projects in medical robotics leading to the design of new robot structures and synthesis of control architecture, namely: design of HIPPOCRATE robot for manipulating US probes on skin, design of SCALPP robot for skin harvesting in reconstructive surgery, GABIE CNRS project focusing on tool guidance based on ultrasound images for mitral valve repair, MARGE (CNRS) and EndoXirob (Industry Ministry) dealing with robotized minimally invasive surgery, D2M2 platform for beating heart surgery including the synthesis of force-reflecting teleoperated controller. |
| |
Actually our group is also involved in the AccuRobAs project (FP6-IST-045201), whose the main purpose is the design of a modular and accurate robot for robotized minimally invasive surgery. In the project we are in charge of developing motion compensation algorithm through hybrid vision/force controller. |
