Vicarious Surgical Inc.

Vicarious Surgical is developing a new category of intelligent and affordable single-port surgical robots for minimally invasive surgery. The company combines advanced miniaturized robotics, computer science, sensing, and 3D visualization. Its next-generation robotics technology is being designed with proprietary human-like motion to improve surgical precision, ergonomics, and procedural efficiency. The goal is to improve patient outcomes and the cost and efficacy of surgical procedures over time. The company's single-port surgical robot, called the Vicarious Surgical System, is designed to address limitations of current robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. If authorized by the FDA, the Vicarious Surgical System will allow surgeons to perform procedures with greater dexterity and access across the abdomen, with better visibility and sensor-based feedback, through a small single incision. The system features proprietary "de-coupled" actuators, which are intended to improve robotic mobility, reduce size, enhance functionality, and lower materials costs. If authorized by the FDA, the Vicarious Surgical System is designed to enable surgeons to perform procedures inside the abdomen with human-equivalent motion, offering nine degrees of freedom per robotic arm, to provide a more natural experience akin to a surgeon's own upper body movements.
