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 advanced, personalized, and minimally invasive medical robot technologies in response to national healthcare needs under the "Healthy China" initiative. It will conduct interdisciplinary research, build a world-class R&D platform, and support the transformation of key medical robot technologies. The goal is to create an influential hub for frontier research and a talent pool for industrial innovation.
The institute serves as a cross-disciplinary platform, bringing together experts from various fields such as internal medicine, mechanics, electrical engineering, and materials science. Notably, Professor Yang Guangzhong, an academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering and director of Imperial College's Hamlin Surgical Laboratory, has been appointed as dean.
The research institute combines research, education, development, and service functions. Its main focus areas include micro-nano systems, perception and cognition, bionic systems, intelligent materials, surgical robots, image navigation, AI, human-computer interaction, and precision electromechanics. The aim is to develop smart, minimally invasive medical robots capable of tackling major diseases like cancer, cardiovascular issues, and stroke, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment. Through collaboration with universities, hospitals, and industry partners, the institute seeks to accelerate technology transfer and support the growth of the medical robotics sector in Shanghai.
Looking ahead, the institute will be established in two phases, with 10,000 square meters of space allocated at Shanghai Jiaotong University. It will work closely with 13 affiliated hospitals and domestic and international institutions, aiming to establish 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 basic labs, applied research labs, and AI-human interaction labs. Currently, it is recruiting top global researchers and building a team of over 20 leading experts in vision-related fields.
Shanghai Jiaotong University already hosts more than ten medical robot research teams, which are driving industrial transformation. In the future, the university plans to establish a full production line for medical robots, covering technology transfer, startup incubation, financing, and clinical training. The goal is to launch five medical robot 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 build a first-rate medical robotics industry in what is being called the "Silicon Valley" of China.
