What aviation teaches us about safety in surgical robotics In 2025, commercial aviation transported more than four billion passengers worldwide. The accident rate? Less than one major accident per several million flights. This level of safety did not emerge by chance. It was the result of a fundamental redesign of control systems. Modern aviation became safer when engineers stopped focusing solely on performance — and started engineering protection at the limits of human capa
