Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world’s digital infrastructure company™ announced that Precision Robotics, a surgical robotics start-up from Imperial College London, has deployed an NVIDIA DGX™ A100 system in Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) in Hong Kong. Through this deployment, Precision Robotics aims to develop next generation surgical robots to support the future of precision surgery for personalized healthcare and improved quality of life.
"The SIRIUS flexible robotic endoscope system has a small size, a highly flexible robotic arm and a built-in image processing system, allowing surgeons to freely control and perform operations accurately, while achieving high cost-effectiveness. This company was established not long after I took office in 2017. When I visited the UK, I encouraged it to come to Hong Kong to develop. I also visited them again in Science Park last month, and I was deeply impressed by the demonstration of the technology." Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor.
Since its establishment, Precision Robotics has specialized in researching advanced surgical equipment. The first product is the "flexible robotic endoscope system", designed with two turning positions, and the turning angle can reach 90 degrees, which is more suitable for non-invasive surgery or minimally invasive surgery. The endoscope head is single-use, ensuring safety to patients and quick turnover in back-to-back surgeries.
