• Dec 14, 2025. 2025 ABML Symposium & 10th Anniversary Celebration Successfully Held in Shenzhen.

On December 14, 2025, the 2025 ABML Symposium was successfully held in Shenzhen. This event was not only an academic gathering but also a reflection of ABML’s decade of dedication and progress. Since its establishment in 2015 under the leadership of Professor LI Zheng, ABML has been committed to advancing medical robotics and cultivating high-caliber research talents. Marking its tenth anniversary, the symposium aimed to create an open and integrative platform for dialogue, fostering interaction between academia and industry, inspiring collaborative ideas, and jointly exploring future pathways in medical robotics.

Initiated and chaired by Professor LI Zheng, founder of the laboratory, the event brought together dozens of experts, scholars, engineers, and young researchers from universities, research institutions, and enterprises across China and abroad. They shared insights into cutting-edge research in medical robotics and its intersecting fields. In addition, ABML’s postdoctoral researchers, PhD and master’s students, as well as faculty and staff were all in attendance, presenting their latest research outcomes and progress, demonstrating the vitality and potential of the laboratory’s young scientific team.

The symposium not only strengthened the connections between ABML and pioneers in both academic and industrial circles but also laid a solid foundation for future collaboration.
