Hard tissue robotics may be ready for a major leap forward, but only if the industry stops treating surgical robots as single-purpose robotic arms.
In this episode, Yossi Bar, CEO and Founder of LEM Surgical, explores the next evolution of surgical robotics and why hard tissue innovation is just getting started. Drawing on nearly two decades in medical devices, he explains why hard tissue robotics has trailed soft tissue robotics and why system architecture matters more than hardware alone. Yossi breaks down the difference between a robotic arm and a true surgical humanoid, highlighting the roles of vision, proprioception, and multi-tool operation. He also shares how AI and humanoid-inspired, general-purpose robotic platforms could expand clinical capabilities and shape the future of surgery.
Tune in to hear why the best part of surgical robotics may still be ahead!
