Developing — prototypes scaling toward deployment
Why it matters
It improves precision, reduces trauma and recovery time, and extends specialist skill — and points toward semi-autonomous and remote surgery.
Where it stands
Robot-assisted surgery is widespread; fully autonomous surgical steps and lower-cost systems are the frontier.
How ASIZ approaches it
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Living Systems center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at robotic surgery: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
