One of the most common questions from patients and healthcare stakeholders when discussing Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) is: "Is the machine making decisions?"

Surgical robotics systems, such as those distributed across Southeast Asia by idsMED in partnership with Edge Medical, are advanced extensions of the surgeon’s eyes and hands.
The system has zero autonomy; it translates the surgeon’s continuous hand movements into precise micro-actions in real time.
