The joint venture composed by Vicomtech, Tekniker, Cyber Surgery and Medical Simulator, has been awarded the second phase of the AUTOMATIC SURGERY | AUTOPILOT tender, focused on the development of the functional prototype of the system.
The joint venture (Vicomtech, Tekniker, Cyber Surgery, Medical Simulator) has been awarded Phase 2 of the AUTOMATIC SURGERY (AUTOPILOT) tender, promoted by CDTI | Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación. This second phase focuses on the development, integration and validation of a functional prototype of the autonomous surgical system, including its deployment in a representative environment and the evaluation of its performance under simulated operating conditions
AUTOMATIC SURGERY | AUTOPILOT aims to develop a robotic system with autonomous capabilities that assists the surgeon in performing surgical tasks that are part of the treatment of soft tissue injuries with minimally invasive approach. The system is expected to be tested in various medical models, including advanced preclinical scenarios at the Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Center – JUMISC, a multidisciplinary institution dedicated to research, training and innovation in the healthcare field, which has detected the need for the development of this type of technology.
Cyber Surgery, continues to drive innovation in robotic surgery, bringing to the project our experience in the development of complex robotic systems such as ALAYA, our surgical robotic assistant for spine procedures. Our strength lies in a multidisciplinary approach ranging from software development, mechanical and mechatronic design, to control systems and image processing algorithms. All of this, with a mindset deeply aligned with the quality and safety standards demanded by the surgical environment. We are used to working under demanding regulatory frameworks, where traceability, validation and robustness are not optional, but part of the product’s DNA. This experience allows us to contribute with technological solutions that are not only innovative, but also ready to reach the market.
Davide Scorza, Head of Applied Research at Cyber Surgery, highlights the contribution:
“Cyber Surgery contributes with expertise in robotic architecture, surgical planning software, and advanced computer vision algorithms for enhanced surgical precision and automation”.
This project not only allows us to apply our expertise in surgical robotics but also pushes us to continue exploring the limits of technology in a field that is as demanding as it is exciting. It is a further step in our mission to transform surgery through cutting-edge robotic solutions. For Cyber Surgery, it is an opportunity to grow, learn and continue to lead innovation in an industry where every advance can make a real difference in people’s lives.
