What if the real breakthrough in surgical robotics isn’t the robot itself, but the intelligence it unlocks? In this interview, Global Head of Digital Surgery at PA, Andrew Savarese, and Joe Mullings explore why the next generation of surgical robotics must go far beyond mechanical precision.

They examine how AI, advanced visualization, and data architecture are redefining what surgical platforms can do and what clinicians should expect. From the importance of modular design and human factors to the strategic decisions that make or break scalability, this conversation offers a clear-eyed look at the future of intelligent, insight-driven surgery.

The real value of surgical robotics isn’t just in the instrument, it’s in the data it captures and the intelligence it unlocks.”
