Today we introduce maxon Expert Talks — a new series where we unpack the engineering complexity behind high-performance drive systems.   In our first episode, Mario Mauerer and Dario Renggli take a deep dive into surgical robots: teleoperated systems where software, mechatronics, safety architecture, drive technology, sensors, and certification all have to work together inside one highly regulated medical device. Watch the first maxon Expert Talk with Mario and Dario here: https://lnkd.in/eWvfNkS3 They discuss what it takes to design motion systems for minimally invasive surgery — from customized motor-gearhead-encoder combinations, redundant encoders to clean-room production, traceability, and sterilizable motors.   The conversation also looks at how miniaturization pushes drive systems closer to the limits of physics: air-gap flux density, copper fill factor, heat dissipation, and the second-order effects that only appear when ultra-compact systems need to perform reliably inside the human body.
