Yangtze River ** Wuhan Client December 20 (reporter Wang Su, correspondent Zhou Fan) "The surgical robot is a surgical assistance for the chief surgeon to understand and understand. On December 20, at the medical-engineering cross-innovation forum, Ding Han, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, president of the Wuhan European and American Scholars Association, and director of the Academic Committee of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, gave a keynote speech entitled "Development Prospects and Research Exploration of Autonomous Surgical Robots". In his narration, the surgical robot has become a "divine assist" for the surgeon, and will be fully autonomous in the near future, where the surgeon can easily monitor the operation while drinking coffee.

The forum was guided by the Municipal Party Committee and co-sponsored by the Wuhan European and American Returned Scholars Association and the Huazhong University of Science and Technology European and American Returned Scholars Association, aiming to give full play to the advantages of Wuhan's united front talent gathering and intelligence intensity, and jointly develop the trend and industrial development path of cross-innovation of medical and engineering, so as to empower Wuhan to build a scientific and technological innovation center with national influence.
The emergence of surgical robots is actually an important revolution in the intersection of medicine and engineering. In his keynote speech, Academician Ding Han introduced in detail the history, current situation and future development trend of surgical robots.
From the surgeon-guided teleoperation robot, to the feedback teleoperation type of information intelligent interaction, to the robot's part of the surgical process. With the development of robotics, the autonomy of the surgical process is an inevitable trend. He explained that the emergence of surgical robots means that doctors can focus more on surgical strategies and decision-making, rather than spending too much time and energy on surgical operations. This is undoubtedly a liberation for doctors.
As the director of the Academic Committee of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Academician Ding Han also introduced the research progress of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in the field of surgical robots. He said that Huazhong University of Science and Technology has made a series of important breakthroughs in the main academic aspects of surgical robots, such as rigid-flexible coupling surgical execution end design, image fusion ultrasound real-time registration technology, and surgical execution motion planning and real-time control.
The rigid-flexible coupled surgical execution end design combines the flexible continuum robot with the collaborative robot to improve the dexterity of the surgical robot, which is like the function of a 'hand'The real-time registration technology of image fusion ultrasound is based on multi-source image fusion and real-time tracking algorithms, which takes into account both accuracy and real-time, which is like the human 'eye';Surgery performs motion planning and real-time control, and can combine image navigation and robot control technology to develop a system with dynamic autonomous navigation capabilities, which is quite a 'brain'. We provide inspiration for the autonomy of surgical robots through 'hand-eye-brain'. He introduced that at present, it has developed products such as an autonomous mirror robot system, an artificial hand directly controlled by nerve signals, a soft exoskeleton hand for neural circuit remodeling for patients with brain injury, and an eye-controlled brain injury robot.
Taking the artificial hand directly controlled by nerve signals as an example, the intelligence of the brain to control the movement of the human hand can be transferred to the artificial hand, which subverts the patterned motion control technology of the prosthesis in the past 70 years, so that the artificial hand can do what it wants. ”
For the future, Academician Ding Han said that with the development of 5G technology, it is expected to promote the further application and promotion of remote surgical robots through high-quality network systems. In addition, the development trend from minimally invasive surgery to non-invasive surgery, general surgical robots to specialized surgical robots, as well as from the robot master-slave mode to the human-machine integration and deep integration operation mode, and then to the robot autonomous mode will further promote the development of surgical robots.
At the forum, the participating experts and scholars also conducted in-depth exchanges on the innovation and transformation practice of medical devices, the construction and application of medical metaverse scenarios, etc. Everyone agreed that with the continuous progress of technology and the development of society, surgical robots will become more and more popular and become an important tool in the medical field.
