Precision manipulation and workflow integration progressed to next phase.

The surgical robotics program reached a technical milestone focused on precision manipulation, ergonomics, and clinical workflow integration. Benchmarks evaluated sub‑millimeter positioning, instrument exchange repeatability, and force/impedance control during tissue analog tests. Simulation‑based development accelerated controller iteration, while hardware‑in‑the‑loop rigs validated latency and stability under realistic constraints. Usability studies informed user interface refinements that reduce cognitive load, and audit logs now capture critical steps for traceability. Interfaces to hospital IT systems support scheduling, documentation export, and role‑based access, with safeguards to protect sensitive information. Packaging and sterilization considerations are being incorporated earlier in the design cycle, and post‑market analytics pipelines are being prototyped to learn from real‑world usage. The program emphasizes documentation, training, and transfer plans so clinical partners can evaluate, simulate workflows, and prepare for staged adoption. As the next phase begins, the team will broaden test scenarios, expand tissue analog diversity, and publish methodology notes covering test design, safety monitors, and human‑factors criteria. These efforts are oriented around predictable, repeatable performance rather than isolated demonstrations, helping hospitals assess fit within established safety and quality systems.
