Vicarious Surgical Inc. is a robotics technology company focused on developing robotics technology for surgical procedures to improve patient outcomes and healthcare.
The company is engaged in combining advanced miniaturized robotics, computer science and 3D visualization to build an intelligent, single-port surgical robot called the Vicarious Surgical System, which virtually transports surgeons inside the patient to perform Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS).
This system has been designed to provide visualization with a stereoscopic camera that rotates in three degrees of freedom (yaw, pitch, and roll) to provide the surgeon with stereoscopic imaging of nearly every surface in the abdomen. It also contains over 28 sensors per instrument arm, allowing it to provide real-time feedback to the surgeon on force, motion and other key areas and data intended to develop surgical procedures and patient outcomes.
