<p class="elementToProof" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Medical imaging plays a vital role in modern clinical practice, which provides valuable information
to physicians for medical diagnosis, image-guided surgeries, etc. The use of a robot acquires images and enables the controlled trajectory of the imaging system with high precision and reproducibility. Due to the boom of machine learning, the development of
autonomous imaging systems gained increasing attention recently. To develop intelligent systems that robustly work in unknown environments, fundamental research continues to emerge, investigating novel approaches of visual servoing, share-control, object segmentation,
scene understanding, and learning from experts' experiences.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The aim of this workshop is to bring together active research groups and clinicians, sharing the latest technological
achievements in the field of robot-assisted medical imaging. By gathering world-class technical and clinical researchers, the meaningful discussion on the remaining challenges beyond technical developments like ethical issues and clinical acceptance will also
be discussed during the one-day workshop.</span></p>
