A team at the University of Tokyo has introduced SPIDAR, a four-legged robot capable of both crawling and flying, designed for use in challenging environments. Credit: DRAGON Lab Developed by the university’s JSK Lab, SPIDAR stands for Sensing, Processing, and Intelligent Dynamics for Aerial-ground Robot. The robot combines aerial and ground mobility, making it suitable for tasks such as search-and-rescue missions and inspections in rugged or confined spaces. SPIDAR features four legs, each fitted with a vectorable thrust unit. These rotors tilt to adjust thrust direction, allowing the robot to maintain precise control while flying or moving on the ground. Unlike traditional drones, SPIDAR’s rotors are built into its legs, reducing air interference and enabling it to operate in tight areas. The robot can lift off, hover, and fly while adjusting its leg positions for balance. It can also crawl by lifting all four legs simultaneously with the help of rotor thrust, allowing it to cross uneven terrain or obstacles. On flat surfaces, SPIDAR functions like a standard quadruped robot, using its legs for stable walking.

At the 5th edition of Future of Health Asia held in Singapore, global healthcare leaders, insurance policymakers, and industry speakers converged to explore how AI, digital transformation, and cross-sector partnerships are reshaping the future of healthcare in the Asia-Pacific region. Organised by The Economist Impact, the event spotlighted not just technology’s potential, but also its limitations, and the shared responsibility across sectors to ensure patients remain at the heart of innovation. Future of Health Asia, 5th Edition in Singapore   AI Not Replacing, Human Care From administrative automation to surgical precision, AI’s role in healthcare is rapidly expanding. Speakers across sessions emphasised that AI is here to augment clinical decision-making, not replace it. AI’s most immediate impact is seen in reducing administrative inefficiencies and enabling clinicians to spend more time with patients. Yet clinical AI remains in its early adoption phase, limited by challenges such as data bias, lack of interoperability, and the need for rigorous validation. Experts in the panel also warned that failing to establish the foundational basics would result in "rubbish in, rubbish out", a clear signal that the quality of output relies entirely on the quality of input. This caution, alongside concerns regarding automation bias, cybersecurity, and evolving regulatory oversight, underscores the critical need to keep human oversight central to both clinical decision-making and surgical procedures.   Rebuilding Trust and Access While digital tools promise efficiency, the region still faces fundamental access barriers. Data presented at the event revealed that 8 in 10 people in Asia delay seeking care due to confusion, costs, or fear of burdening loved ones, and over 60% of Singaporeans struggle to navigate their own healthcare systems. This reality reinforces that innovation cannot be separated from access. Panellists on healthcare equity pointed out that the patient voice, though often referenced, remains insufficiently integrated into system design and policymaking. Trust, they argued, is the missing currency in healthcare transformation. A multi-country patient survey revealed that 75% of ethnic minorities reported negative healthcare experiences affecting their trust, and 15% of marginalised populations avoid the system altogether. Rebuilding trust requires data transparency, evidence-based policy, and consistent engagement between clinicians, insurers, industry, and media.   Health as Economic Capital The event also reframed health as not merely a cost burden but as foundational economic capital. Through the Health Dividend Initiative, The Economist Impact strives to act as a catalyst and called for sustained investment in health as a driver of productivity, education, and equity. The idea that investing in health is not merely an expense, but rather something that pays dividends was also echoed in the discussion. This economic framing links well with the technological transformation narrative where AI, robotics, and digital health can yield immense efficiency and societal returns, but only if investment decisions align with long-term public good rather than short-term budget cycles.   Collaboration Is the Catalyst Discussions Between Multiple Sectors at the Future of Health Asia A central message echoed that no single actor can achieve healthcare transformation alone. Governments, hospitals, insurers, industry players, and patient organisations must move from siloed initiatives to integrated partnerships. As The Economist Impact’s moderators summarised, progress depends on connecting these dots between innovation and regulation, between investment and inclusion, and between systems and the human stories that will define them.   Ultimately, the event reminded everyone that while AI may shape the future of healthcare, empathy, trust, and collaboration will determine its success. Technology can analyse, predict, and even assist, but it cannot listen. Keeping the patient’s voice at the centre remains the truest form of innovation.
