MESROB 2023

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is our privilege and great pleasure to invite you to the eighth edition of the International Workshop on New Trends in Medical and Service Robots (MESROB 2023) , 07 – 10 June 2023. Under the patronage of IFToMM - the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science, MESROB 2023 will be organized by the Faculty of Mechanics from the University of Craiova, Romania.

The aim of the MESROB Workshop is to provide an international platform for researchers, engineers and PhD students involved in the general field of medical and service robotics, to exchange the latest research results and exchange views on future research directions in these areas. From the point of view of research and applications, medical and service robotics are enjoying a growing interest, at the same time as the obvious growth of the market.

Since the first symposium, in 2012 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, MESROB has attracted eminent experts and provided a forum for researchers working in the field of medical and service robots. Continuing with the editions: MESROB 2013 in Belgrade, Serbia, MESROB 2014 in Lausanne, Switzerland, MESROB 2015 in Nantes, France, MESROB 2016 in Innsbruck and Graz, Austria, MESROB 2018 in Cassino, Italy, and MESROB 2021 in Basel, Switzerland, the Workshop continued to grow in terms of number of participants and scientific impact.

MESROB is constantly stimulating new and highly modern interdisciplinary research directions such as robotic solutions for rehabilitation, surgical treatment, human-robot interaction, elderly assistance, and many other topics.

Welcome to MESROB 2023 in Craiova!

Kind regards on the behalf of the MESROB 2023 Steering Committee,
