Chongqing University Renji Hospital delegation visited PolyU to explore collaboration on bio-welding surgical robots

A delegation led by Dr Sun Zhongyi, Director of the Urogenital Medical Center at Chongqing University Renji Hospital (The Fifth Peoples Hospital of ChongQing), visited The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) on 17 August for in-depth exchanges on cutting-edge bio-welding surgical systems and robotics technology. The visit explored new opportunities for medical-engineering integration and industry-academia-research collaboration.

During the exchange meeting, both parties introduced their team members and latest developments. Participants engaged in fruitful discussions on the translation and future development of core bio-welding technologies. PolyU representatives presented the University’s research strengths in intelligent robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and interdisciplinary research at the interface of medicine and engineering. The Renji Hospital delegation shared progress in the development and clinical applications of bio-welding technology.

The delegation also visited PolyU Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory, gaining first-hand insights into the University's research capabilities and talent development in AI and robotics, while exploring the application potential of cutting-edge robotic technologies in healthcare.

Looking ahead, PolyU will continue to strengthen ties with Chongqing University Renji Hospital, leveraging interdisciplinary strengths in medicine, precision engineering and AI to advance collaborative R&D and accelerate innovation in bio-welding surgical robots, contributing to the future of medical technology.
