Shanghai MicroPort MedBot's Toumai Laparoscopic Surgical Robot has assisted surgeons to complete nearly 800 surgical operations.
Shanghai MicroPort MedBot (Group) Co said it intends to maintain a leading position in the field of surgical robots with its strong technical strength and product advantages.
Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Liu Yu noted that the Toumai Laparoscopic Surgical Robot has assisted surgeons to complete nearly 800 surgical operations in 37 domestic hospitals since it was commercially launched in January 2022.
MicroPort MedBot's joint replacement robot was also the first in China to receive the European CE certification in December last year, following approval from the National Medical Products Administration in April and the United States Food and Drug Administration in July.
The company is expecting to extend the service and solution to more surgical fields backed by latest research breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) and fifth generation (5G) technology.
Localized solutions such as 5G service would allow its robotic systems to better suit local market demand compared with imported machines, said Liu.
It has also set up about 40 training centers to help surgeons use the systems and benefit patients and health-care institutions to carry out minimally invasive surgery in lower-tier Chinese cities.
Autonomous truck technology by Shanghai-headquartered WestWell has been deployed at the Terminal D facility at Laem Chabang Port in Thailand.
Autonomous driving heavy duty truck Q-truck will be an example of smart logistics and green development from local firms.
