一、报告摘要

Surgical robotics has evolved from a niche research field 25 years ago to a burgeoning area of innovation and development, spearheading evolution in precision medicine, personalised healthcare, and quality-of-life improvements. The commercial success of the first-generation clinical robotic systems has inspired an ever-increasing number of platforms from both commercial and research organisations, resulting in smaller, safer, and smarter devices that aspire to roam the human body and blur the lines of disease prediction and prevention. For such endeavours to be clinically successful, challenges relating to not only research, but also regulation, intellectual property protection, and potential litigation need to be addressed. In this talk, we will look back through the past on how different generations of surgical robotics have evolved. With improved safety, efficacy and intelligence, robotic platforms will soon approach a tipping point, moving beyond early adopters to become part of the mainstream surgical practice. The emerging 5th generation surgical robots will drive the future of precision surgery, with a greater focus on early intervention and quality of life after treatment. The talk will elaborate how this relatively young yet rapidly expanding field may reshape the future of medicine, as well as the associated technical, commercial, regulatory, and economic challenges that need to be overcome.
