With the advancement of imaging and robotic technologies, new surgical procedures and treatment methods are transforming medical diagnosis and treatment solutions. The technologies enhance visual access and accurate surgeries using robotic technologies for the surgeons during endoluminal surgeries that are minimally invasive and are more accessible to patients worldwide.The Multi-Scale Medical Robotics Center brings the worlds of medicine and robotics together, focusing on technological innovation with a strong emphasis on clinical translation and direct patient benefits. The Center serves as a synergistic platform for clinicians, engineers and researchers from local and overseas universities to work together and forge new ways to translate biomedical engineering research innovations into medical practices.The Multi-Scale Medical Robotics Center will support three research programmes: • Endoluminal multi-scale robotic platforms for diagnostics and therapeutics• Magnetic-guided endoluminal robotic platform• Image-guided robotic interventions In the long run, the Center will serve as a medical robotics incubation hub to foster medical technology start-ups, provide training in the areas of fully-integrated approaches and use of robotic technologies, pre-clinical design and intra-operative use of medical robots.
