Riddhit Mitra: Engineering Leader Behind Smith+Nephew’s CORI Robotic Platform

Send us Fan Mail What happens when artificial intelligence meets robotic surgery? The operating room of the future may look very different from what we know today. In this video, we explore how AI and surgical robots are transforming modern surgery, helping surgeons plan procedures, improve precision, analyze medical data, and make more informed decisions. From robotic-assisted surgery to AI-powered surgical systems, these technologies are opening new possibilities for healthcare. But how far can AI and robots really go? Will robots ever perform surgery without human surgeons? And what does the rise of AI in healthcare mean for patients, doctors, and the future of medicine? Watch until the end as we explore the exciting opportunities, challenges, and ethical questions surrounding the future of surgery.
