Offer Description

The activities will focus on developing methodologies for the planning and control
of robot trajectories subject to geometric, kinematic, and operational constraints.
Control strategies will be designed to guide the robot along predefined paths while ensuring accuracy, stability, and safety during interaction with the surgeon. The
proposed solutions will be validated in scenarios representative of robot-assisted
surgical procedures. Specifically, the activities will be part of WP3 “Safe and
efficient robot control and navigation”, contributing to the development of Tasks 3.2
and 3.3.
