The Role of Big Strategics in Robotics

Should the big strategics be the robotics dealership, the portal of robotics, not the creator?

Tom Salemi and I had a conversation coming out of the last DeviceTalks.

Liabilities of the large strategics in surgical robotics:
– Accelerated cycles of innovation, strategics are not structured for that.
– Too many cooks in the kitchen.
– Not being a digitally native organization and lack of core competencies.
– Individuals managing careers and not technologies.

Assets of the large strategics in surgical robotics:
-Financing
-Distribution
-Field support
-KOL access

The path forward?
