In 2017, the most suitable keyword for the medical robot industry should be the “landing and R&D†of localized robots. In order to ensure the integrity of the inventory information, the arterial network enters the keyword "medical robot" into Baidu News, OFweek robot network, arterial network and several other media websites that focus on medical robots to screen all news related to medical robots in 2017.
We found that some of the surgical and service robots have gradually landed. Tianzhihang’s “Scorpio†orthopedic surgery robots have a lot of surgery news in all parts of the country in September and October, and they are not in these developed areas in the north, but in Sichuan. , Xinjiang Karamay, Jiangmen, Foshan and other areas. This shows that this robot has gone out of the laboratory of their Beijing hospital, facing the market.
With the help of artificial intelligence, medical robots, dispensing robots, and intelligent consultation robots have also begun to land in various top three hospitals and rural hospitals.
In June of this year, the outpatient department of Anhui Provincial Hospital launched two “Xiao Medicine†intelligent robots for science and technology.
In September this year, nine general-medicine assistant robots developed by Jinglun Century were issued in Suide County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province. This is the first pilot project for robot-assisted medical care in village-level medical institutions.
In May of this year, Shanghai Titanium Robots completed 40 million RMB A round of financing. The medical service robot developed by Titanium Robot can be used as a nursing robot in hospital scenes to complete logistics and guiding tasks in medical scenes...
The progress of research and development of rehabilitation robots is gratifying. Scream Technology announced the Pre-A round of financing of 30 million yuan in April this year. Ruiyi Medical announced 8 million angel round financing in May this year...
When reading the news related to medical robots in 2017, the arterial network also found a very interesting phenomenon: in the first half of the year, most of the news will talk about two things. One is that Da Vinci robots perform surgery in a hospital, and the technology is advanced. Another thing is that the medical robot industry has a good prospect.
In the second half of the year, especially in September and October, there are two main types of things in the medical robot field. One is the domestic surgical robot (Scorpio), the service robot is landing everywhere, and the other is with the help of artificial intelligence technology. The great development of robots.
What are the specific changes in medical robots, and how far are the robots in various fields from “catch the UK and the United Statesâ€, and what are the major events? The arterial network tries to resolve it for you.
Medical robot financing
Last year, when the arterial network was in the 2016 inventory, a total of four companies were financing, namely Baihui Weikang (surgical robot), Titanium robot, Daxie Technology, and Protocol Medical Technology. Most of the last year was the seed round or A round of financing, in addition to Daxie Technology's 30 million US dollars, the other is 10 million yuan level of financing, add up to a total of 200 million yuan, involving the field of surgical robots, service robots.
This year's medical robot enterprises are developing rapidly. The seven companies that have obtained financing will be counted on Tianzhihang. There will be about 1.5 billion yuan in financing, and the large-scale financing of Tianzhihang, Anhan Medical and Daxie Technology will be removed. The amount of financing has also exceeded 100 million. The companies involved in these financing include surgical robots, service robots, and rehabilitation robots (exoskeleton robots).
Especially for rehabilitation robots, this year, three companies announced financing information, the Angel Wheel of the Step Robot, the Angel Wheel of Sui and the PreA Wheel of Scream Technology.
According to the situation of the arterial network, the performance of the domestic exoskeleton robot products is rapidly catching up with the foreign countries with the help of AI. For example, due to the short development time of the products in China, the price is expected to be only half of the foreign countries. In addition, the development cycle of rehabilitation robots is relatively shorter than that of surgical robots. Only two types of equipment certification are required to enter the hospital, so the threshold will be relatively low, so the commercialization of the next few years should be very good.
Top 10 domestic medical robots
January 2017
The Medical Device Priority Approval Process will be implemented on January 1, 2017. Priority approval for the application for registration of three types of imported and imported medical devices of the second and third categories with obvious clinical advantages, such as diagnosis or treatment of rare diseases, malignant tumors, peculiarity and multiple diseases of the elderly, medical devices for children, etc. It will bring great impetus to the rapid spread of various types of high-quality medical devices.

The birth of nano-robots will bring new breakthroughs in the research and development of new drugs. Relevant researchers need to further increase the research and development of nano-robots, so that the "eyes" of nano-robots will become more sharp and better serve the research and development of new drugs.
March 2017
The first domestic training center for Da Vinci Surgical Robots was completed at Changhai Hospital of the Second Military Medical University. The number of trainees will reach 500.
Medical robots are the most advanced surgical methods available today, but as the number of surgical robots installed and the number of surgical operations increase, surgical surgeons with operational capabilities are becoming more and more scarce. They usually need systematic training and strict certification to be “on the jobâ€.
The previous training was carried out overseas, with long cycle, high cost and difficulty, which seriously restricted the application of this cutting-edge technology. When the Da Vinci Surgical Robot International Training Center is launched, it will fill the gap of “no training†for domestic robotic surgery, which will change the inconvenience that Chinese doctors can only go abroad for training. And for our country to accumulate experience in this regard. It is estimated that the number of trainees of Changhai Hospital Training Center will reach 500 or more.
April 2017
Scream Technology received 30 million yuan of Pre-A round financing, which is the largest financing in the field of rehabilitation robots (exoskeleton robots) in China. This year, the rapid development of exoskeleton robots, in addition to screaming technology, step robots, Cheng Tian technology and other companies are engaged in research in this field, most companies are still in the clinical validation stage.
May 2017
The Titanium Rice Robot has completed 40 million A round investment and will continue to release a variety of special medical service robots. This is the largest amount of financing that China has completed in the field of service robots this year.
August 2017
Anhan Medical receives $100 million investment
Anhan's gastroscope is the only capsule gastroscope approved by CFDA for three types of medical devices. At present, Anhan capsule gastroscope robot has entered nearly 1,000 medical institutions in 30 provinces and cities nationwide.
The medical robot company Tianzhihang plans to raise 400 million yuan, and this year it will land in Xinjiang, Sichuan and Guangdong.
Surgery robot company Tianzhi Hang announced that the company plans to issue no more than 30,123,400 shares at a price of 13.26 yuan per share, and the fundraising funds should not exceed 400 million yuan.
The announcement shows that the funds raised this time, 110 million yuan for the research and development, marketing and clinical service capacity of surgical robots; 135 million for production base construction; 15.3 million yuan for the establishment of subsidiaries; 135 million yuan for Equity investment based on mergers and acquisitions.
At present, Tianzhihang's third-generation general-purpose orthopaedic robot TiRobot has completed the formulation of product standards, passed the inspection of medical device products, and passed the “Special Approval for Innovative Medical Devices†by the State Food and Drug Administration, becoming the only one to enter the special approval process. Surgical robot products, on November 14, 2016, the Scorpio orthopedic surgery robot obtained the CFDA registration certificate.
According to the news released in September and October, Tianzhihang’s “Scorpio†orthopaedic robot has been deployed in Sichuan, Xinjiang Karamay, Jiangmen and Foshan to help doctors complete orthopedic surgery.
Compared with the previous two generations of robots, the third generation of "Scorpio" orthopedic robots is not only fine-grained, but also accepts images obtained from real-time (360-degree) scans of the three-dimensional C-arm in the operating room. "Based on the real-time update of data, even if the patient's position changes, the most reasonable surgical "channel" can be re-planned.
As the first domestic enterprise to complete the medical robot productization, Tianzhihang has a long road to development. Its orthopaedic surgical robot was awarded the first medical robot registration license in China in 2010. From the development of medical robots to the conversion to products, obtaining a registration permit, in accordance with international practice, it takes three to five years; Tianzhihang spent five years from R&D in 2005 to 2010.
After the certificate is obtained, the medical robot will only reach the market cultivation period, and then it will be scaled up. At this time, it is possible to generate profits.
According to financial information, in 2016, Tianzhihang achieved operating income of 26 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7%; the annual loss was 25 million yuan, an increase of 80% year-on-year; the gross profit margin was 44%, which was basically the same as the same period of last year.
As new generation products landed across the country and there is no direct competition with Da Vinci surgical robots, revenues will increase further in 2017.
On September 1, Tianzhihang announced that the first half of 2017 report showed that as of June 30, 2017, the company's operating income for the first half of the year was 21,958,200 yuan, an increase of 76.53% over the same period of last year; net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies. It was 1.246 million yuan, turning losses into profits compared with the same period of the previous year.

This equipment can assist patients to walk in normal human bionic gait, carry out rehabilitation training and correct gait, and adapt to different road environments. Through a helmet, the patient's brain nerve signals can be detected, and the signals are transmitted to the exoskeleton rehabilitation robot. The exoskeleton rehabilitation robot performs actions according to the patient's mind, thereby achieving standing and walking.
September 2017
The world's first autonomous dental implant surgery robot came out
The Department of Implants of the Stomatological Hospital of Xi'an Air Force Military Medical University (formerly the Fourth Military Medical University) successfully completed the cultivation of two missing teeth for a female edentulous patient using the world's first autonomous dental implant surgery robot.
The robot was developed by the Air Hospital of the Military Medical University and the Robotics Institute of the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. They designed the active planting robot configuration, which can flexibly complete the operation in a small space. The international development of the oral implant planning-surgical navigation-robot control software system for the first time, to achieve precise planning of the planting plan, full navigation during surgery and Robot automatic control function.
The doctor only needs to plan in advance. During the operation, the doctor quietly looks at the computer screen, and all the movements are done by the robot in front of him.
From November 25th to November 26th, the 2017 World Robotics Congress will be held in Shenzhen. I hope that more big events and news will be reported.
Development of medical robots assisted by AI
In 2017, artificial intelligence seems to be ubiquitous. With the help of artificial intelligence, the guidance robot, auxiliary diagnostic robot, exoskeleton robot, and surgical robot are developing rapidly.
In terms of the guiding robot, the outpatient department of the Anhui Provincial Hospital also launched two "Xiaofei" intelligent robots for the University of Science and Technology in June this year.
In less than two months, Xiaoyi can support doctors in 47 departments, 618 locations, 607 functional locations, 227 locations, and 260 frequently asked questions to answer the questions correctly. The rate increased from the early 81% to 90.81%.
With the help of AI, the auxiliary diagnostic robot began to land. For example, the auxiliary diagnostic robot of Jinglun Century started the pilot project in Suide County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province. The technical core of the auxiliary diagnostic robot is not the hardware device, but the auxiliary diagnostic system or expert system carried by the robot. The landing of such products will support the construction of the grassroots general practitioner.
Li Muran, CTO of Scream Technology, once said that the future pricing of screaming exoskeleton products will be around tens of thousands of RMB, which shocked the industry. Because of Rewalk and Cyberdyne's products, the price is about $70,000 and more than $200,000, respectively.
Low price In addition to the advantages of hardware, the advantages in software are also obvious. Scream technology uses artificial intelligence technology, does not need to hire a large number of people to write programs, so the research and development costs in this area are much lower, so they dare to price this way.
The AI's help for surgical robots is mainly reflected in the three reconstructions of the body organs to help the robots navigate accurately. Although the surgical robot has a small trauma and a quick recovery, it still needs a doctor's operation. Therefore, the precise three-position reconstruction technology can make the preoperative planning and surgical navigation better, which can reduce the accident rate of the operation.
Conclusion: Domestic surgery, service robots accelerate landing, exoskeleton robots develop rapidly
When the reporter looked through the news of the 2017 medical robot, it was found that in the second half of the year, there were fewer and fewer articles on the market prospects of medical robots, and more and more information on domestic robots, especially surgical robots and rehabilitation robots, indicated that medical robots passed the past. After several years of education, industry people have already recognized its market prospects. Everyone is concerned not only with trends, but also with specific development status.
It is gratifying to note that in addition to the latest information from foreign countries, the industry has also developed very rapidly. The financing news of rehabilitation robots, the surgical robots such as orthopedics, dental implants, and hair transplants have one after another. Now Karamay, with a population of just over 400,000, has begun to use domestic surgical robots. In addition, with the help of artificial intelligence technology, service robots have also begun to land and put into use.
Behind the industrialization, the arterial network also learned that many universities in China have research and development of medical robots. How to transform these research and development results into commercialization is a challenge, but it is also a huge “gold mineâ€, worthy of the industry. attention.
What we need to pay attention to is that although China's surgical robot technology is developing rapidly, Liu Yu, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Fosun Medical Technology Management Committee, said: "The advantage of Da Vinci robot is not only technology, but more now. The habits of doctors are very changed. The domestic robots need to do not imitate, because it is innovation, and from a new angle to Da Vinci to grab the market."
Professor Wang Tianmiao of Beihang once said, “The medical robot entrepreneurship is very difficult and generally takes more than 10 years. At present, the domestic medical robot industry still faces many challenges such as technology, safety and capital. The medical robot industry needs to develop. Facing the actual needs of the market, we will effectively prevent concept hype, bubble, low-end and disorderly competition, so we will focus on how to make this cutting-edge technology help improve the medical system and better serve patients."
