At LINNC Paris 2026, surgical robotics pioneer Frederic Moll presented a keynote lecture tracing the 26-year evolution of robotic-assisted interventions since the founding of Intuitive Surgical. Driven by a vision to overcome the ergonomic and dexterity limitations of early laparoscopy, he examined how robotics has expanded from radical prostatectomy to advanced endovascular and telerobotic applications. The talk outlined the convergence of artificial intelligence, high-speed telecommunications, and advanced imaging, detailing how these technologies are actively redefining interventional medicine and remote surgical care.
