Autonomous surgical robotics
Our flagship programme brings artificial intelligence and surgical robotics together for complex neurosurgery. We work across medical imaging, anatomical interpretation, planning, instrument development, and robotic control.
ROSA and da Vinci development
Our work includes new ROSA instrumentation and da Vinci platform research. We focus on the software and instrument interfaces that connect visual understanding, planned movement, and coordinated robotic action.
From imaging to movement
Imaging provides the anatomical context. AI helps interpret that information, planning defines a path, and robotic control translates the plan into movement. Sensing and feedback connect each step to the operating environment.
Safety throughout the system
Our engineering work addresses operating boundaries, instrument calibration, uncertainty, continuous monitoring, and human oversight. These considerations run through the full system, from the first image to the instrument tip.
Work with our team
We welcome hospitals, neurosurgical teams, academic laboratories, and device developers with complementary expertise. Collaboration starts with a clear clinical or engineering question and a shared plan for the work.
