【#Tech24H】The Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully developed an autonomous microscopic ophthalmic surgical robot system. Capable of performing autonomous subretinal and intravascular injections throughout the intraocular space, it enhances the precision and safety of fundus injections while reducing iatrogenic injuries. Experiments show that the system achieved a 100% injection success rate across various eyeball phantoms, with an average positioning error reduced by approximately 80% compared to manual operations by surgeons. Even when compared to robot-assisted surgeries performed by doctors, the error was reduced by about 55%, demonstrating superior precision and safety. In the future, the system is expected to be applied in complex scenarios such as remote diagnosis and treatment, emergency rescue, and even space medical treatment, showcasing broad application prospects.
