Job description

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join us and work on FAROS. Within the FAROS consortium, research in the Department of Surgical & Interventional Engineering within the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King’s College London focuses on developing technology for novel image-guided interventions. Deep machine learning is being developed to interpret intraoperative data and link assembled knowledge to autonomously execute surgical actions at operating rates far beyond human response capabilities.

On Oct, 29th Dr. Larry T. Khoo presented in plenary session of the Annual Forum ‘21 of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (SMISS) the experimental results of the research on robotic breach prevention using the electrical conductivity technology. These results are the fruit of the collaboration between the researchers of SpineGuard and Sorbonne University, in collaboration with the surgeons from the Scientific Advisory Board of SpineGuard and will be explored even further within the FAROS project.

SpineGuard announces its inclusion as consortium member of FAROS. Upgraded status from provider of the DSG guidance technology for the surgical robot to a full-fledged member of the consortium.

We are excited to support the second edition of the Medical Augmented Reality Summer School and International Challenges co-organised by members of the FAROS consortium on August 30-September 10 2021. This edition of MAR 2021 will be a special online format, again bringing together the world’s experts in Medical AR, clinicians, companies and talented academic researchers from all around the world, foster cooperation, and hopefully push the boundaries of Medical Augmented Reality.

FAROS was presented at the DIH-HERO Knowledge Conference. 53 people attended at this highly dynamic event. There seems a good possibility for collaborating across Europe and interest in FAROS or other AI-related projects.
