Is the surgical humanoid simply a new design philosophy for robotics, or the beginning of a shift toward more autonomous surgical assistance? And what does this mean for surgeons, hospitals, and the broader surgical robotics market? This session explores what happens when surgical robotics begins to move beyond instruments toward intelligent collaborators. We’ll examine how multi-arm robotic architectures, real-time navigation, and emerging “physical AI” platforms could reshape the operating room — particularly in complex hard-tissue procedures such as spine surgery.
