    For patients, robotics-assisted surgery has provided many benefits including smaller scars, less pain, and faster recoveries. Surgeons, too, have benefited from greater visualization and enhanced precision. For these reasons, and more, robotics-assisted surgeries are becoming increasingly common worldwide, with both the number of surgeries and the range of procedures increasing rapidly.

    For all of their successes, the practice of robotics-assisted surgery faces a number of challenges that must be addressed for the practice to become more widespread. In this RoboBusiness Direct session, the current state of robotics-assisted surgery, along with a forecast of future advances, will be described. Special emphasis will be placed on the key limitations of existing systems, and essential requirements (opportunities) going forward:

    •    Better visualization
    •    Enhanced precision
    •    Increased dexterity
    •    Improved haptic feedback
    •    Smaller form factors
    •    More intelligence
    •    Lower cost solutions
    •    Additional procedures
    •    And more
