In 2019, commercialization and standardization of medical robots were solidly received more focus. Several surgical robot products received approvals from FDA (USA), CE (Europe), NMPA (China), etc. Two international standards related to surgical robot and rehabilitation robot were published by ISO/TC299 respectively. Inspired by 5G communication, clinically remote robotic telesurgeries were conducted in several countries including China and Spain. Emerging technologies such as novel mechanical configuration, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and 5G communication, were being integrated into the development cycle of medical robot system, which was featured with the medical data driven intelligent human-robot interaction. Clinical requirement guided collaborative relationship between medicine and engineering were practiced in innovation of medical robot system.
