Abstract
Nearly all high risk industries, such as aerospace, nuclear, and military, use simulation training to prepare their workforce to operate in a hazardous environment. The most recent high risk industry to embrace and adopt simulation training is medicine. Nearly 90% of all surgeons who use surgical robots have undergone some form of virtual reality training. In addition, engineers, marketing managers, sales reps, hospital administrators and government agencies can also utilize simulation to efficiently achieve a variety of objectives. This presentation will review the various roles of simulation for many of the stakeholders in the surgical robotics industry.\\r\\n
