Abstract

As a cutting-edge technology in the field of medical robotics, vascular interventional surgical robots have made remarkable progress in recent years. This paper focuses on the technological innovations of vascular interventional surgical robots, with particular attention to the system developed by Academician Xu Bo’s team that rapidly secured national patents through China’s Green Innovation Fast-Track. The article elaborates on its key breakthroughs in haptic force feedback, master–slave control accuracy, and multimodal image fusion, and discusses the potential clinical advantages these innovations confer. By benchmarking the system against comparable technologies at home and abroad, the paper forecasts its future applications in healthcare and provides a reference for subsequent R&D and clinical adoption.
