At Cyber Surgery, teamwork and strategic collaboration are part of our DNA. From clinical research to new technology development, these synergies allow us to advance our mission: to transform spine surgery through innovative solutions. Today, we are highlighting one of our most important collaborations, in which our CEO, Andrés Amarillo, and other team members are directly involved: Project VOLTRON, an initiative supported by the Hazitek program and co-funded by the Basque Government and the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund 2021-2027 (ERDF).
Project VOLTRON to Advance Surgical Robotics
Cyber Surgery is actively involved in the development of Project VOLTRON, an initiative dedicated to the research of modular mechatronic technologies for surgical applications. Running from April 2024 to December 2026, the Project VOLTRON aims to explore the technical feasibility of modular surgical robotics, overcoming the limitations of traditional monolithic systems. The project is designed to provide:
- Flexibility to integrate new functionalities and surgical procedures.
- Resilience through interchangeable and upgradeable components, allowing the system to evolve over time.
- Sustainability through a more repairable design and extended operational life, optimizing resource utilization.
Andres Amarillo, CTO at Cyber Surgery, emphasizes the importance of this initiative:
“Being part of Project VOLTRON is a unique opportunity to explore new frontiers in surgical robotics. This project allows us to develop modular technologies that will not only improve the precision and flexibility of surgical robots but also make them more sustainable and adaptable in the long term. I believe this approach will mark a turning point in how we understand and apply robotics in healthcare.
At Cyber Surgery, we are proud to collaborate with Tekniker on this strategic initiative to redefine the standards of surgical robotics and shape the future of innovative, flexible and sustainable medical solutions. Stay tuned to learn more about how these collaborations are shaping the future of surgical robotics!
