Mikroniek 2010-2 by Hans van Eerden 2 April 2012

During a trip to the USA (Boston area, Baltimore area and Chicago), a Dutch delegation of robotics researchers and entrepreneurs discovered a lot of “interfaces” for R&D and business collaboration. Common interests include surgical robotics, robotic-assisted rehabilitation training of stroke survivors, and development of advanced prostheses. Based on the delegation’s impressions, this article offers a glimpse of cure and care robotics in the USA.
