Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerInternationalPublishingAGSwitzerlandispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia (www.springer.com) Preface Medical and Service Robotics are entering a phase of very vigorous growth. An—obviously incomplete—list of “hot” topics would include surgery robotics, assist devices, rehabilitation technology, surgical instrumentation, Brain–Machine Interface (BMI) as examples for medical robotics, autonomous cleaning, tending, logistics, surveying and rescue robots and elderly and healthcare robots as topics from service robotics. A relatively small single-session workshop such as MeSRob, held for the third timeinJuly2014atEPFL,cannotcoverallthesefields.Itgives,however,withits 120 participants from a dozen countries, a representative snapshot of activities, especially in the three partner countries of the SCOPES funding scheme of the Swiss SNF, Romania, Serbia and Switzerland, along with a growing number of participants from Europe and Asia. Particularly promising is the fact that MeSRob 2015 is already well on track and will be held in July in Nantes, France. This is proof of the timely character and growing interest of the MeSRob topics. As a matter of fact, every large industrial robotics company is now entering the bio- medicalmarket,thenumberofstart-upcompaniesinmedicalandserviceroboticsis impressing and many are successful. The topics presented at MeSRob 2014 can be classified into three topical parts: (1) Wearable, Assistive and Rehabilitation Devices (8 Chapters) (2) Surgical Robotics, Instrumentation, Biomechanical Modeling (6 Chapters) (3) Educational and Service Robotics (6 Chapters) Far from claiming anything near a complete coverage of medical and service robotic topics, the papers presented here nevertheless give a good impression of currentresearchdirectionsandfieldsofinterest.Mostpapersarestronglyanchored on collaborations between technical and medical actors, engineers, surgeons and clinicians. The larger field of biomedical technology and rapid growth in service automation has clearly overtaken the “classical” industrial robotics and automatic control centered activity familiar to the older generation of roboticists. While this might betrue fortheapplication fields, more theoreticaltopics suchaskinematics, v vi Preface parallel link mechanisms and similar subjects now find new applications in bio- mechanics and biomedical robotics. At the same time, new transdisciplinary fields are emerging, e.g. intersections between psychology, psychiatry, cognitive neuro- sciences on one hand and robotics on the other hand. Brain-Machine interface and haptic interfaces will grow in importance. Many of these topics are relatively new andpublicationsareunderwayorhavebeenpresentedatkeynotes,butarenotyet matureenoughforpublicationintheseproceedings.Wemayhoweverlookforward toupcomingMeSRobworkshopstoreportonanincreasingnumberofsubmission in this direction. Finally, the organizers wish to thank the main sponsors of this event, the Swiss NationalFoundationforScience,IFToMM,EPFLtotheteamofreviewers(mostof whom were not participants in MeSRob) and to the scientific and organizing Committees.
