DOCSF 2024: The Future of Robotics: A perspective (Hans Peter Brøndmo)
In this episode of the Digital Orthopedics Podcast, we explore the future of robotics in surgery with experts Dr. Stefan Kreutzer and Hans Peter Brøndmo.
Dr. Kreutzer shares his extensive experience with surgical robotic platforms, highlighting key challenges such as high costs and limited clinical data. Brøndmo, drawing from his work on Google X’s Everyday Robots project, discusses broader robotics challenges, including human-robot interfaces and teaching robots complex tasks.
The conversation reflects on the evolution of robotics, comparing current surgical robots to cutting-edge industrial models, and addresses the balance between technological advancements and the irreplaceable human touch in medicine. As robotics reshape healthcare and beyond, the discussion raises profound questions about creativity, work, and what it truly means to be human in an increasingly automated world.
