NQ Score
43/100
AI Summary (NQ-processed)
National Taiwan University of Science and Technology announced today that traditional artificial hip joint replacement surgery heavily relies on the surgeon's experience. However, existing high-precision navigation equipment or robotic arm systems are expensive. Therefore, Hsieh Yi-cheng led a research team, in collaboration with clinical doctors, to introduce mixed reality technology, hoping to develop a more intuitive and effective surgical assistance solution.
