Pint of Science is a unique festival that brings researchers out of their laboratories and into local pubs, giving everyone the opportunity to discover fascinating topics in science and society in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
For the 12th consecutive year, the Pint of Science festival returned to pubs across Strasbourg.
Morgan Madec, coordinator of the HelpMeWalk project, participated in the event at O’Brother pub in Strasbourg.
“Operating Without Seeing: Using Electromagnetic Waves”
Morgan Madec (Professor at Télécom Physique Strasbourg)
Did you know that some surgeons operate without directly seeing their instruments?
In this talk, Morgan Madec explained how miniature sensors and electromagnetic waves can be used to track surgical instruments with millimetre precision, helping surgeons perform procedures that are safer, more efficient, and less invasive.
During his presentation, Morgan Madec also highlighted other applications of electromagnetic sensing technologies, including their use in the HelpMeWalk project for 3D scanning.
