What ’s the Latest in Robotics?

There’s no question that robotics is poised to transform healthcare, manufacturing, and much more. The market for medical robots is expected to reach USD 16.74 billion by 2023 up from about $6.46 billion in 2018, predicts Markets&Markets. The research firm also predicts the industrial robotics market to reach USD 71.72 billion by 2023. Attendees to BIOMEDevice Boston and ESC Boston will have the opportunity to see robotics in action and hear the latest developments and best practices from several experts. The shows are co-located together May 15-16. For instance, the CorPath GRX system from Corindus Vascular Robotics Inc. will be on display in the Surgical Suite at Booth 110 at BIOMEDevice Boston. The CorPath platform is described as the first FDA-cleared medical device to bring robotic precision to percutaneous coronary and vascular procedures. Last November Mark Toland, president and CEO of Corindus, told MD+DI that “this technology offers optimized robotic techniques that can tackle even the most complex procedures,” Toland said. He added that the company is also exploring the safety and feasibility of remote treatment with the CorPath GRX System. Per Bergman, vice president, research and development for Corindus Vascular Robotics, will also be participating in the panel discussion, “Solving R&D Productivity Challenges,” on Thursday, May 16,...
