Point Robotics and Techman Robot Sign Strategic Memorandum of Understanding to Advance Taiwan’s Independent Development of Medical Robotics

Taiwan-based spinal surgical navigation and robotic systems developer Point Robotics MedTech Inc. recently signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Techman Robot Inc.. The two parties will collaborate on critical module technologies for medical robotics, jointly promoting technology integration and international regulatory certification—marking a new milestone in the application of smart healthcare.

Point Robotics has long specialized in the development of high-precision minimally invasive spinal surgery assistance systems, with regulatory approvals and clinical validations already achieved across multiple countries worldwide. Under this collaboration, Point Robotics will integrate Techman Robot’s highly flexible and stable robotic arm module as one of the key components for its next-generation surgical robotic platform. Through this initiative, Point Robotics aims to achieve localization of core components in Taiwan, enhancing system integration efficiency, strengthening supply chain resilience, and securing local technological leadership.

Techman Robot, with deep expertise in industrial automation, has established itself as a globally recognized brand in collaborative robotics, backed by advanced design and intelligent precision control technologies. By partnering with Point Robotics, Techman will extend its strengths from industrial robotics into the high-end medical robotics market. Together, the companies will address the challenges of obtaining TFDA, FDA, and EU-MDR certifications, as well as medical device commercialization. This partnership not only highlights the strength of Taiwan’s robotics industry but also symbolizes a key transition from industrial applications to medical innovation. With the integration of Point’s regulatory and clinical expertise, Techman Robot will gain opportunities to expand into international healthcare markets, unlocking new application scenarios and business opportunities. Point Robotics emphasized that the collaboration will not only enhance product performance and local R&D capabilities but also serve as a milestone partnership, attracting greater attention from strategic partners and strengthening the company’s competitiveness in the smart surgical platform market.

“Medical robotics represent an important milestone in the pursuit of higher-level autonomy within Taiwan’s medical device industry,” said Hsueh-Cheng Chuang, Chairman of Point Robotics. “Through our collaboration with Techman Robot, we can accelerate product iteration, enhance global competitiveness, and deliver greater value to clinicians and patients.”Shih-Chi Ho, Chairman of Techman Robot, added: “Healthcare is among the most challenging yet promising fields for smart robotic applications. This partnership with Point Robotics allows us to extend our proven robotic technologies into clinical practices and regulatory validation processes, jointly developing Taiwan-made medical robots that demonstrate the advantages of an integrated local industry ecosystem.”

As smart healthcare continues to emerge as a global trend, cross-disciplinary technological integration will be the key to driving industry transformation. This collaboration between an innovative medical device developer and a leading industrial robotics brand signifies another step forward in Taiwan’s independent smart healthcare innovation. Both parties will continue to explore clinical value and technological breakthroughs, delivering safer, more precise, and more efficient surgical solutions for patients worldwide.
