Computer Vision News - September 2022

14 Women in Computer Vision robotics, specifically robotics or robotics- related subjects. Basically, we do proposals together. It's quite important because these people are spread throughout the universities in different faculties and departments, as robotics is such a hybrid topic. This is a network that allows them to make certain connections, identify those connections, and follow through with projects and different ideas that pop up thanks to this mechanism that we have. It also allows us to kind of unify and get to know what everyone is doing from different departments and faculties and connect with the industry as a group. Does it work well? Yes, it works well. It works well, and it's growing. Now, in the beginning, this was just at the principal investigator level - Is there enough evidence for you to invest yourself in it? I do believe that these technologies have the potential to change the lives of patients here, and I would hope that also in countries where this seems completely a utopia. I come from Honduras, and I think some of these technologies could help break some barriers there in health care. All the different products that are being developed in terms of the surgery or having surgeons here, engineers here, training human resources over there. I think there's a lot of potential. Tell us about your “second hat”. The second thing I do here, which is more internal, is manage the robotics forum. That's a network of around 44 scientists here at Imperial College London working in
