BRIN Develops Third Generation Long Distance Surgery Robot To Expand Access To Health Services

JAKARTA The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) developed a prototype of a third generation long-range surgical robot. This technology is being adjusted to international standard medical regulations.

Researcher of the Intermediate Research Center for Electronics (RE) Riyanto explained that this technology uses surgical robots that are connected to high-speed networks. This system is developed with a multi-disciplinary approach.

"This research targets the creation of a prototype third generation long-range surgical robot with safety standards, reliability, and compliance with international medical regulations," Riyanto said, citing BRIN broadcasts on Friday, October 3.

The fields of knowledge involved in the development of robots include mechanics, electronics, informatics, and user interface designs. This effort shows BRIN's commitment to strategic research relevant to the needs of the community.

Riyanto said that this surgical robotic technology promises great benefits for health services. The advantages obtained include smaller incisions and faster patient recovery times.

The most important thing is that this technology can expand the access to surgical services for people in remote areas. Meanwhile, experts in the field of computer science and electronics state that the security integration of electronic systems is important.

According to UGM Computer and Electronics Science Lecturer Muhammad Husni Santriaji, the electronic system can also be supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This will be very helpful in terms of accuracy and timeliness in critical systems such as autonomous vehicles.

"The slightest mistake of one bit in memory can lead to wrong AI ... (this problem) has the potential to be fatal," said Husni.
