For robotics of the future - are we talking towers or hubs?

Is the future of robotic towers to be hubs
Hubs or Towers for surgical robotics

I’m watching a change happen. The entire architecture of the operating room is changing as we speak. It’s getting way smarter and way more connected. We still see legacy devices that are "indpendent" dumb boxes. But as they get phased out - the next box that replace them is smarter and a little more connected.


Now much of the intelligence in the OR was all looking like it was going to happen by the “walls” of the OR getting smarter and more connected - like an OR1 by Karl Storz or and EndoAlpha by Olympus.


But that is big integrated architectural changes on a fairly slow upgrade cycle. Which will probably not keep pace with the rapid changes we are seeing happening. It requires cahnges to the physical infrastructure and architecture of the operating room. And well - a lot of places can't afford it - want it - or are able to do it.
