    Surgical robotics systems are providing increased surgical efficiency improved patient outcomes, and lower costs through increasingly smaller incisions, intelligent surgical guidance and visualization, and data analytics. Unfortunately, the healthcare sector is not yet able to fully leverage surgical robotics solutions. The need to satisfy demanding and simultaneous requirements for interoperability, reliability, cybersecurity, safety, and performance is a significant barrier to scalable and efficient development of surgical robotic systems (and intelligent connected medical devices). This can be solved with a modern approach to distributed system architecture that is adaptable to evolving requirements and reusable across programs and product lines. In this talk, Darren Porras will discuss surgical robotics applications and the role of distributed software communication frameworks in addressing the demanding and flexible compute needs of connected medical devices from the edge to the cloud.
