New Robotic Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Minimally Invasive and Robotic-Assisted Surgery in Pediatric Urology

Abstract

The worldwide presence of surgical robots will expand significantly over the upcoming years, as key patents of the market frontrunner, the da Vinci Surgical System, continue to expire. Multiple robotic systems, such as the the Senhance Robotic System and the Versius Robotic System, which are commercially available, have expanded upon the da Vinci system design and added additional features. The MIRA system is a novel robotic design in development phase, which miniaturizes and internalizes the robotic working elements. Additional robotics work has been in refining single-port surgery and developing endoscopic devices for natural orifice minimally invasive techniques. Robotic technology for surgery that is in early development includes unlinking robotic elements from external control, integrating data analytics and machine learning, the use of autonomous microbots, and telesurgery.
