Surgical Robot Challenge 2026 🏆 The Surgical Rob Surgical Robot Challenge 2026 🏆 

The Surgical Robot Challenge is an international competition which showcases new advances in surgical robot technology. 

🌏 This year, we're particularly interested in submissions that celebrate frugal innovation, practical application, and thoughtful design in showcasing how robots can enhance surgical procedures with a focus on maximising impact on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

✈️ The winning team will have an all-expenses paid trip for two team members to attend the Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics in London on 24–25 June 2026, including travel, three nights of accommodation, and full symposium registration.
