History
The International Symposium on Biomechatronics and Medical Robotics (BioMRH 2025) was successfully held in Brussels from September 20 to 22, 2025. The conference received strong support from institutions including The Chinese University of Hong Kong (China), University College London, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and Université Paris-Est Créteil.
BioMRH 2025 brought together experts, scholars, and industry representatives in the fields of biomechatronics and medical robotics from countries such as Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Singapore, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and Malaysia. Participants engaged in fruitful discussions on the development trends, innovative applications, and future challenges of biomechatronics and medical robotics technologies.
Conference Proceedings
BioMRH 2025 received submissions from researchers in over 15 countries within the field. Following a rigorous peer-review process, all accepted papers were published by Springer in the prestigious Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS, volume 1778 & volume 1790, ISSN: 2367-3370). The proceedings have also been successfully indexed in EI Compendex, Scopus, and other leading academic databases.
Online conference
The online conference featured distinguished speeches from experts in the field: Professor Paolo Soda from Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, Italy, delivered a talk titled "Towards Resilient AI in Healthcare" sharing the latest advances in achieving resilient AI for medical applications; IEEE Fellow Professor Qing-Song Xu from the University of Macau, who gave an insightful presentation on "Development of Robotic Micromanipulation Systems for Biomedical Applications," exploring the future prospects of robotic micro-manipulation in healthcare; IEEE Fellow Professor Amine Bermak from Hamad Bin Khalifa University introduced cutting-edge research in his lecture "Extreme Edge Intelligence: Moving AI to the Sensor Frontier," focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence with edge computing; IEEE Fellow Professor Subhas Mukhopadhyay from Macquarie University presented on "Recent Advances in Sensing and Machine Vision for Mechatronics" showcasing innovative applications of sensing technology and machine vision in mechatronics. Together, these sessions collectively contributed to a rich and forward-looking discussion on the evolving landscape of intelligent systems in medicine and robotics.
