8th FAROS Integration Week in Zurich

The OR-X in Balgrist recently hosted the final validation week for the robotic prototype developed by the international research consortium of the Horizon 2020 project FAROS (Functionally Accurate RObotic Surgery). The FAROS project, an EU-funded initiative, aims to improve functional accuracy through embedding physical intelligence in surgical robotics.
