DESCRIPTION:Allison Okamura\nMany medical interventions today are qualitat
 ively and quantitatively limited by human physical and cognitive capabilit
 ies. This talk will discuss several robot-assisted intervention techniques
  that will extend humans’ ability to carry out interventions more accura
 tely and less invasively. First\, I will discuss the development of minima
 lly invasive systems that deliver therapy by steering needles throughdefor
 mable tissue and around internal obstacles to reach specified targets.Seco
 nd\, I will review recent results in haptic (touch) feedback for robot-ass
 isted teleoperated surgery\, in particular the mapping and display of tiss
 ue mechanical properties. Finally\, I will describe recent work using dyna
 mic models of the body to drive novel rehabilitation strategies. All ofthe
 se systems incorporate one or more key elements of robotic interventions: 
 (1) quantitative descriptions of patient state\, (2) the use of models to 
 plan interventions\, (3) the design of devices and control systems that co
 nnect information to physical action\, and (4) the inclusion of human inpu
 t in a natural way.
