HARBIN, May 18 (Xinhua) -- A silvery model surgical robot at the exhibition hall of the 10th China-Russia Expo has become a magnet for visitors, many stopping to learn how the device performs remote-controlled vascular interventional surgeries.
新华社哈尔滨 5 月 18 日电 第十届中俄博览会展厅内，一台银色手术机器人模型引得参观者纷纷驻足，不少人上前了解这款设备如何开展远程血管介入手术。
Unlike conventional procedures, where doctors operate under heavy lead aprons and are exposed to radiation, the robot enables surgeons to perform operations remotely, reducing radiation exposure and improving precision and efficiency.
传统手术中，医生需要穿戴厚重铅防护围裙，全程暴露在辐射环境下。这款机器人可支持外科医生远程手术，降低医护人员受辐射剂量，提升手术精度与效率。
This year, with a subsidiary founded in Harbin, the capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, the company is using the expo to explore the Russian market, said Qin Guanbo, an executive with Beijing VAS Medical Tech Co., Ltd.
北京华斯医疗科技有限公司高管秦冠波介绍，企业今年在黑龙江省会哈尔滨设立子公司，借本届博览会开拓俄罗斯市场。
"Though we only brought product models this time, we hope to use the China-Russia Expo to carry out medical cooperation with Russian partners and expand overseas markets for high-end domestic medical devices," Qin said.
秦冠波表示：“本次我们仅带来产品模型，希望依托中俄博览会，同俄方伙伴开展医疗领域合作，推动国产高端医疗器械走向海外。”
At another booth, Heilongjiang Huida Technology Co., Ltd. showcased smart agricultural machinery, including an unmanned vehicle designed for orchards and greenhouses.
在另一侧展位，黑龙江惠达科技有限公司展出多款智能农机，其中就有专门用于果园与温室大棚的无人作业车。
"The multi-functional unmanned equipment supports autonomous path planning and modular multi-task operations," said Chu Haibo, deputy general manager of Huida Technology. "It can be equipped with modules for spraying, transportation and mowing to enable smart and efficient farming in complex agricultural environments."
惠达科技副总经理褚海波介绍：“这款多功能无人设备可自主规划行进路线，搭载模块化组件完成多项作业，可装配喷洒、转运、割草模块，在复杂农田环境下实现智能化高效耕种。”
Chu said consecutive participation for four sessions has helped the company expand its market by connecting directly with buyers, strengthening supply chains, and learning advanced industrial technologies.
褚海波称，企业连续四届参展，得以直接对接采购商、完善供应链体系、吸收前沿工业技术，持续拓宽市场。
"We hope to deepen cooperation in smart agriculture and the low-altitude economy while expanding into Russia and other Belt and Road markets," Chu said.
褚海波表示：“我们希望深化智慧农业、低空经济领域合作，进一步开拓俄罗斯以及共建‘一带一路’沿线市场。”
