Some notes I took, hopefully they are useful:

- @Bruce_Hu joined the meeting and discussed about potencial developments to allow reinforcement learning for surgical robotics applications inside Slicer. @pieper mentioned what is currently possible using `Nvidia Warp` and `Slicer Sofa` according to his testing.
- Kitware Europe developers joined the meeting: @finetjul and @Thibault_Pelletier
- I asked about known ways to achieve soft-tissue deformation in the context of being pushed by a rigid body such as “bone and flesh” interactions
