The da Vinci system has outlined surgical robotics for greater than 20 years—however staying on the prime requires greater than iteration. Intuitive Surgical just lately demonstrated a 4,000-mi. telesurgery with its da Vinci 5 and obtained CE mark for the surgical robotic. In an unique interview at RoboBusiness 2025, Iman Jeddi, Ph.D., senior vice chairman and common supervisor of Intuitive’s multiport platform, will provide a uncommon look contained in the redesign and launch of the da Vinci 5, the firm‘s next-generation surgical robotics system.
With da Vinci 5, Intuitive centered on implementing foundational computing energy to unlock a brand new era of capabilities—from pressure suggestions and superior devices to machine imaginative and prescient that powers the surgeon’s interface and delivers deeper case insights.
How does a market chief rethink its flagship system in a aggressive, maturing area? And the way do you design not only for the current, however for the way forward for digital surgical procedure? Jeddi’s dialog will likely be about self-discipline, platform pondering, and staying forward in a subject that’s shortly catching up.
Her keynote discuss will shut RoboBusiness on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 3:30 p.m. PT. The occasion takes place on the Santa Clara Conference Heart.
Jeddi to share medical machine expertise
Since becoming a member of Intuitive Surgical in 2013, Dr. Jeddi has held a number of management roles in engineering, operations, and high quality. Most just lately, she was common supervisor of the da Vinci SP single-port platform, the place she was accountable for establishing and executing a technique for the enterprise to make sure progress, profitability, and continued innovation.
In her function as common supervisor of the multiport platform, Jeddi instantly oversees the product improvement, course of engineering, and product administration capabilities and is accountable for enterprise and medical technique, multi-year product-development roadmaps, manufacturability, value, and business-unit revenue and loss.
