New centre to accelerate innovation in surgical robotics

Imperial College London and the global medical technology company Smith+Nephew have launched the five-year partnership to deliver advances in robotic surgery for musculoskeletal conditions.

The first-in-kind partnership will bring together experts from Imperial with engineers from Smith+Nephew to accelerate the translation of academic breakthroughs in fields such as computer vision and sensing into advanced techniques in robotic surgery.

The techniques will be designed to make robotic surgery less invasive, more intuitive and usable by more than just the specialist centres, leading to better outcomes for patients.
