Surgical robotics industry parallel series: Learnings from manufacturing and automation

By Chris Illman, Marc Booth

In this video, engineering expert Chris Illman and advanced manufacturing expert Marc Booth explore what surgical robotics and manufacturing processes have in common and how one can learn from the other.

Chris and Marc discuss how manufacturing’s use of data and AI is shaping smarter decision-making—and what surgical robotics can learn from this. They look at how digital twins enable clinicians to simulate procedures for greater precision, while robotics and AI streamline workflows and support real-time decisions through integrated compliance systems. Drawing lessons from industries like automotive, they emphasise that successful adoption in healthcare depends on aligning technology with human and procedural needs.
