| Résumé: | This paper presents an overview of the current research and development activities on medical robotics in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Medical robotics is believed to be among the most influential and therefore strategic technologies in the area of health and medical services. As a result, the Iranian Ministry of Education, along with the Ministry of Health and Medical education and the Ministry of Industries and Mines have devised a strategic plan to promote and support this branch of technology. A research centre (called RcSTIM) has been assigned to focus on this area and work intensively on long term projects. Collaborative research and development projects in this centre and other technical and/or medical schools have resulted in several domestic technologies and advancements in the field of medical robotics, from which some have already entered the last stages of commercialization and others are passing technical and clinical trials. |
