Chapter 588
"Are we going to start the surgical robot project too?"

"Going to challenge Da Vinci?"

Looking at the technical information on the screen, Wang Dali was suddenly surprised and delighted, and a flame ignited in his chest.

As an electromechanical engineer, who doesn't have a mecha dream?

Although robots are not mechs, they have always been the brightest jewel in the crown of the manufacturing industry.

The design and manufacture of robots requires not only understanding of the software and hardware technology of the control system, kinematics and trajectory planning technology, but also has extremely high requirements for core components such as motors, reducers, and drives.

It can be said that it reflects the overall industrial level of a country, and it is the essence of the entire high-end manufacturing industry.

As the service robot with the highest unit value, and at the intersection of the two sunrise pillar industries of robotics and medical care, medical robots will naturally become a hot spot in the industry, even a hot spot.

The continuous development of medical imaging and mechatronics technology has also helped medical robots to come into reality and flourish.

Among them, surgical robots and exoskeleton rehabilitation robots account for more than 85% of the entire medical robot market.

Various diagnostic and surgical robots, as well as exoskeletons and smart prosthetics, have trillion-dollar market potential.

Medical robots have a history of more than 30 years. They have experienced the exploration of medical scenes in the Bronze Age, the birth of Da Vinci and the road to hegemony in the Silver Age. Now it has entered the golden age of the Warring States Period where a hundred schools of thought are contending and each is leading the way.

In addition to Da Vinci's unification of laparoscopic surgical robots, surgical robots in other major segments can be described as blooming everywhere.

Neurosurgery robots, orthopedic surgery robots, spinal surgery robots, orthopedic surgery robots, vascular interventional surgery robots, exoskeleton rehabilitation robots, etc., all have their own application fields.

Nowadays, medical robots have penetrated into all aspects of pre-diagnosis, diagnosis, and post-diagnosis.

When people enter the hospital, they can see the cute and intelligent guidance robot.

In the operating room, doctors sit in front of the trolley of the da Vinci surgical robot and perform minimally invasive surgery on patients.

At the same time, various auxiliary medical robots are delivering medicines and equipment in an orderly manner.

Finally, the patients who have completed the treatment wear rehabilitation robotic equipment and move freely in the ward.

All this may be just the beginning.

The imagination of medical robots in science fiction movies will become reality sooner or later.

Preoperative diagnosis, anesthesia and disinfection, and surgical operations are all concentrated in an automated medical cabin.

The ambulance can obtain all the biochemical information of the human body in just one scan.

The doctor only needs to touch the screen, and the robot can stitch the terrible wound seamlessly, and even integrate the human and the machine into a new cyberhuman.

Countless micro-robots are flowing in our body, monitoring our organs, cells and immune system, and performing microscopic treatment at any time.

With the help of robotics, the medically impossible is about to become possible.

Thinking of this, Wang Dali's whole heart trembled like an electric current passed through.

He has a strong premonition that this general-purpose surgical robot will bring about earth-shaking changes in surgery.

And such a change will be born in his hands.

Which engineer can resist such a temptation?

Wang Dali swallowed hard, looked at it carefully again, and couldn't help but comment at the same time.

"This surgical robot looks very powerful, and it is suitable for many types of surgical operations.

"This automatic soft tissue suturing function is also very practical, but I don't know how far it is compared with human doctors."

"It shouldn't be a problem, and it can be continuously improved through algorithms."

"If we evolve a bit further and realize a fully automated diagnosis and surgery platform, automatic scan diagnosis, spray anesthesia, and even suture wounds like using a stapler, we can achieve three-step treatment: go in, heal, come out."

"However, it is currently impossible and unnecessary for a robot to completely replace a doctor. It is the best solution to become a doctor's right-hand man."

"In addition, the surgical risks of robots cannot be ignored, and ethical and moral issues must also be taken into consideration."

Wei Kang smiled and said: "You have thought very carefully, but the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny. The fully automated medical cabin cannot be achieved with the current technology. Let's realize the semi-automatic surgical robot first."

"As for other problems, in the face of technological development, they will be completely crushed into mud."

"In my prediction, when remote surgery is popularized, grassroots hospitals will become the main battlefield in the future, and small, low-cost surgical robots will become popular in grassroots medical institutions."

"I have already chosen a name for this surgical robot. It is called 'Miaoshou', which means Miaoshou benevolent doctor. I hope it will live up to expectations."

The expectant smile on his face is like a kind old father, talking about his sincere love for the surgical robot.

Lu Tingfeng had been listening in silently, so he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Mr. Wei, before we had new products, I thought we should sell them at the market price, but this time, if there is a price war, I will support it with both hands."

"It's mainly this Da Vinci, it's so fucking expensive."

"There are 2500 million machines, and the annual maintenance fee is several million. What the hell are you really sucking the blood of patients?"

"We must keep the price down. Even if it drops to 1000 million, it will be a blood profit, and we will definitely not worry about selling it."

"After more than 20 years of development in the surgical robot market, public acceptance has been cultivated."

"The biggest problem right now is price."

"Manufacturers have worked so hard to develop and launch the product, but it turns out that hospitals can't afford it, and patients can't afford it either."

"I hope our Sanqing's surgical robot can change this situation."

Wei Kang nodded and smiled: "For any industrial product, with the addition of domestic players, the price will inevitably fall."

"Only we Huaxia players, relying on the manufacturing industry of the whole industry chain, have the confidence and strength to go big."

"2500 million machines have been sold for so many years, and they can no longer lie down and suck blood."

"At present, there are only more than 300 Da Vinci robots in China, which are very rare. Even if the economy is as developed as Guangdong Province, there are only 20. Even in Beijing and Haishi, not every top-tier hospital has them."

"If we can reduce the price to one-fifth, we will be able to popularize surgical robots in third-tier hospitals in second- and third-tier cities, allowing patients to experience more advanced surgery and faster postoperative recovery."

"Sooner or later, surgery will become very simple, just like getting a haircut. Patients will no longer be afraid of surgery."

"This is the true meaning of technology coming into reality."

"However," he changed his words and clicked on the laser pointer again to display some information on the screen.

"The so-called know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in all battles."

"Next, let's take a look at our biggest competitor, Intuitive Surgical."

PPTs flashed on the screen one by one, fully showing the past and present of the Da Vinci surgical robot.

"The da Vinci robot comes from the joint scientific research results of NASA and Stanford in robotics. It was originally tailored for the military. Later, it showed great potential in the clinical field. Only then did it obtain the technology authorization from Stanford and start commercialization. road."

"In 1994, Stanford developed a remote minimally invasive surgery system for the military to bring surgeons to wounded soldiers, and surgical robots took shape."

"On the battlefield, wounded soldiers are sent into vehicles equipped with robotic surgical equipment, and then operated remotely by surgeons in a nearby mobile surgical hospital, demonstrating excellent remote field rescue capabilities."

"Thus, Intuitive Surgery was established in 1995. In 1996, the research and development of the da Vinci robot began. Three years later, the prototype was successful, and a series of animal and human experiments were carried out, and the final product was launched."

"It was approved by the FDA in 2000. It is used in clinical operations of general surgery, as well as extracardiac, thoracic, and spinal surgery. It can complete a series of difficult operations such as coronary artery bypass grafting. Patients on the other end have surgery across oceans."

"From research and development to FDA approval for marketing, the da Vinci surgical robot can be said to have a smooth journey, and it is making rapid progress at the speed of flying."

"Since its listing, it has monopolized the market for more than [-] years, and its position as the number one in the industry has never encountered any challenges, nor has it been shaken in the slightest."

"The return rate of listed stocks even surpassed Google, as high as 1277%, and has maintained a gross profit rate of 70% and a net profit rate of 30%."

"Today, the da Vinci surgical robot has become an insurmountable monument in the field of surgery. It has treated more than 500 million patients, and more than 4 surgeons have been certified to work."

"Every 36 seconds, a da Vinci robot is used for surgery in the world."

"Such a legendary company with extremely commercial success will undoubtedly become a huge challenge for Sanqing."

"Dali, in the face of such a huge monster, do you have the confidence to defeat it?"

Wang Dali slapped his chest loudly and let out a loud roar: "Yes!"

"Mr. Wei, look at me, this time I must beat Da Vinci."

Wei Kang smiled with satisfaction, and waved his hand: "Then just start it."

The three discussed some details before the meeting adjourned.

After Wang Dali left, Wei Kang asked Lu Tingfeng to stay.

"Since Wang Dali has chosen to be the director of the laboratory, the position of R&D director will also be vacated. Do you have a suitable candidate for this?"

Lu Tingfeng hesitated and said, "There are some young people with outstanding skills in the department, but none of them can compare to Wang Dali..."

Wei Kang pondered: "It's enough to know a little about technology, the main thing is management ability."

In fact, he is also quite a headache. Nowadays, it is easy to find people who understand technology, and people who understand management are also easy to find, but people who understand both management and technology are very rare.

If you really can't get the best of both worlds, you can only give up one aspect.

Lu Tingfeng immediately understood, and quickly said: "In this regard, I think Qi Liang is okay. He also has a background in hardware and has done many equipment projects, and his management ability is extremely strong."

"He has good experience in all aspects, and he also climbed up from the grassroots. He has a high emotional intelligence, has great respect for technical personnel, and knows how to listen to different opinions."

"He's not good at solving problems, but he's good at finding people who can solve problems."

"Several projects I brought were also completed beautifully, and the word of mouth is quite good."

Wei Kang found Qi Liang's resume on the computer, took a rough look, and felt quite satisfied.

"That's all right, it's him."

"Anyway, Sanqing focuses on technology. The biggest responsibility of the management staff is to provide assistance. I don't expect them to engage in cutting-edge technology, as long as they serve the technical leaders and customers well."

Hearing this, Lu Tingfeng couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, nodded repeatedly and said: "That's necessary, it is our greatest honor to serve the big guys and become a stepping stone for them to change the world."

He then added: "At present, Qi Liang is leading the project of the diagnostic room. This project pays more attention to communication and coordination skills in all aspects, and it is more suitable for him."

"Anyway, our business department basically has this structure. Wang Dali for technical research, ordinary projects, and some projects that require multi-department coordination are all handed over to Qi Liang. They can be said to be a duo of equipment."

Wei Kang chuckled and said approvingly.

"You handled it well. There are very few geniuses in this world. For most ordinary people, as long as the right people are placed in the right position, they can play the greatest role."

"Qi Liang, right? Let him be the research and development director first. The project of the diagnostic room is very important. If he can successfully complete it..."

Wei Kang stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "That means he is indeed the talent I'm looking for, and the position of CTO can be handed over to him."

Sanqing Headquarters, Stem Cell Laboratory.

"The blood filtration produces waste at a rate of 4ul/min."

"Bioreactor reabsorption rate is 93% and cell viability is >95%."

"After adding LLC-PK1 cells, the bioreactor was able to mimic renal tubular reabsorption."

Ding Mian glanced at the cage at his feet, there was a yellow-brown Beagle locked up there, he shook the test report in his hand again, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Standing next to him was Xue Shen with an anxious face, asking repeatedly: "Can you speak human language?"

Ding Mian came back to his senses, stabilized his emotions, turned his head, opened his mouth, and spoke very slowly, word by word, like a robot.

"Hi, dear Xue Shen, I mean to say."

"Let's just mess around, and the implantable bioartificial kidney is very likely to be done!"

"What?" Now Xue Shen was not calm anymore. He grabbed the test report, glanced at it casually, and ran out the door.

"Hey, why did you run away? What is this for?"

Ding Mian shouted at the top of his voice: "My good Shenzi, come back to me."

Xue Shen waved the report in his hand, and shouted without looking back: "Go and type another copy yourself, and I will write a work report and ask the boss for credit!"

Ding Mian shook his head, quite speechless: "Fuck, I want to have a drink with him to celebrate, this guy, when it comes to asking the boss for credit, he runs faster than anyone else."

He looked at the cage again, and the puppy inside looked sluggish, with drooping ears, as if it had lost its previous lively and cuteness.

So his eyes instantly became gentle, he stretched out his hand to touch the dog's head, and comforted him in a low voice.

"Xiaobi, don't be like this. Although I cut off one of your kidneys, I also installed an artificial kidney for you. From now on, you will be the world's first cyberdog."

He chuckled lightly: "Are Gao happy? Are you happy?"
