The 4th Generation Robot for Joint Reconstruction is a convenient and small joint replacement tool that uses infrared cameras and optical trackers to 3D map the joint and gather accurate anatomical data from patients, resulting in an appropriate implant for every treatment. With a 30% increase in efficiency and 30% better accuracy, the customised approach will enable surgeons to make decisions instantly and remove the problematic bone sections. In compared to the conventional approach, the surgery will be less painful and result in less blood loss.
