On December 21st, Oriental Network reporter Liu Xiaojing reported that the Shanghai Jiaotong University Medical Robot Research Institute was officially launched. The institute aims to develop personalized, intelligent, and minimally invasive medical technologies in response to national healthcare demands under the "Healthy China" initiative. By conducting interdisciplinary research and building a world-class R&D platform, the institute is expected to support the transformation of key medical robot technologies and become a hub for global leaders in medical robotics.
The new research institute serves as a cross-disciplinary platform, integrating fields such as biomedical engineering, internal medicine, mechanics, electrical engineering, and materials science. Notably, it has invited Professor Yang Guangzhong, an academician of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering and director of the Hamlin Surgical Laboratory at Imperial College London, to serve as its dean.
The institute will focus on multiple research areas, including micro-nano systems, perception and cognition, bionic systems, advanced intelligent materials, surgical robots, image navigation, AI, human-computer interaction, and precision electromechanical systems. Its goal is to develop smart, minimally invasive medical robots capable of tackling major diseases like cancer, heart disease, and stroke, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment. Through collaboration with hospitals and industry partners, the institute aims to accelerate technology transfer and contribute to the development of Shanghai as a global innovation hub.
Looking ahead, the institute plans to establish two phases of operations, with 10,000 square meters of dedicated space and a strong team of researchers. It will collaborate with 13 affiliated hospitals and domestic and international institutions, aiming to build a complete medical robot ecosystem in Minhang District.
Professor Yang Guangzhong outlined a three-phase vision: developing millimeter-level surgical robots within three years, achieving micron-scale precision in six years, and reaching nano-level capabilities in nine years. The institute will also set up core labs for basic research, applied studies, and AI-human interaction. Currently, it is actively recruiting top international talent and forming teams for key projects.
Shanghai Jiaotong University already hosts over ten medical robot research teams, which are driving industrial transformation. In the coming years, the university plans to establish a full production line for medical robots, covering technology transfer, startup incubation, funding, and clinical training. The goal is to launch five startups within three years and attract around 50 companies in six years. With an estimated 5 billion yuan in social investment, the institute aims to create a leading medical robotics industry in what is being called the "Silicon Valley of Healthcare."
