About the Company

We are building autonomous surgical robots to drastically shorten the learning curve for surgeons.

Tech Stack

We are using off the shelf robot hardware and building controls, planning, ML algorithms to take high level guidance from surgeons and execute surgical steps faster and with more precision than the surgeon themselves. This requires low latency and high accuracy planning and controls, computer vision for anatomical landmark detection, building intuitive user interface for the surgeons to issues commands from.
