Shanghai Jiao Tong University announced the establishment of "Medical Robotics Research Institute" today. It is worth mentioning that the medical robotics research institute disclosed the goal of construction in today's conference: self developed millimeter level surgical robot hand in 3 years, accurate micron scale operation in 6 years, and 9 to nanometer level.

       Shanghai Jiao Tong University Graduate School of biomedical engineering medical robot is one of the (Science) cross platform, by the Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Biomedical Engineering, School of medicine, led many disciplines, material, machine, electricity, the number of participating in the construction, specially invited imperial academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering Science and engineering laboratory director Hamlin surgery academician Yang Guangzhong served as president of the institute. The Institute's goal is to focus on the "health Chinese" major national medical needs, cutting-edge technology in the development of a medical robot personalized, intelligent, minimally invasive, carry out cross frontier research subject of medical innovation, robot core technology research and development platform for the construction of a world-class, transformation of key technical support for China Medical Robotics industry.

       Previously, the Shanghai Jiao Tong University has signed a new round of strategic cooperation agreements with Minhang District, the cooperation and construction of Medical Robotics Research Institute and the industrial platform framework agreement. Based on the medical robot research institute will focus on the Shanghai Jiaotong University, the school has been approved to provide 10 thousand square meters of space and adequate staffing for Research Institute in two phases; to Shanghai Jiaotong University hospitals and institutes cooperation at home and abroad, the clinical study in Shanghai University Affiliated thirteen Hospital; and the transformation platform and the complete medical robot ecosystem and medical robotics industry chain is established in Minhang District.

       It is reported that at present, the Shanghai Jiaotong University has more than ten medical robot research teams, which is the backbone of the industrial transformation. The future of the Institute will rely on the Minhang District built a complete medical industrial robot production line, involving the transformation, start-up business incubators, financing, clinical training and a set of processes, and strive to cultivate 5 medical robot startups in 3 years, with 6 years of gathering 50 the left and right of medical robot Enterprises, social investment agglomeration 5 billion yuan, initially built a domestic first-class medical robot industry in Silicon Valley.
