Title: "Evidence in Innovation in the field of Orthopaedics - How an engineer can help a a surgeon to apply and trust the new tools”
Innovation in orthopaedics is rapidly transforming the landscape of musculoskeletal care, ushering in a new era of precision and efficacy.
This talk explores the essence of innovation in orthopaedics, focusing on its future trajectory, target definitions, and tangible examples across the pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative phases. By examining evidence-based practices and fostering trust in innovation, this abstract underscores the pivotal role of research and validation in driving advancements. Ultimately, the take-home message emphasizes the imperative of evidence-driven innovation to enhance patient outcomes and propel orthopaedic care into the future.

Title: "Sustainability in Soft Robotics"
This presentation explores a novel approach to sustainable fabrication methods in soft robotics by repurposing elastomer waste. The work primarily focuses on the granulation of recycled parts, which can then be added to pristine elastomer materials to fabricate new, eco-friendly actuators. This transformative process not only reduces the environmental impact by minimizing waste but also addresses resource scarcity concerns. By redefining the life cycle of soft robotic components, we contribute to a circular economy, promoting responsible consumption and production. Join me in uncovering the potential of this sustainable paradigm shift, propelling soft robotics towards a greener and more efficient future.
