Moon Surgical, a French-American company specialising in surgical innovation, has announced an expansion of its collaboration with NVIDIA to enhance the AI capabilities of its Maestro System. This initiative will utilise the NVIDIA Isaac for Healthcare platform to improve the system’s Physical AI functionalities.
The integration of advanced AI technologies will enable the Maestro System to perceive, understand, and interact with its environment, moving beyond conventional robotic assistance. This development aims to facilitate real-time interpretation and adaptation of surgical workflows, thereby optimising efficiency within the surgical ecosystem.
The Maestro System utilises the NVIDIA Holoscan platform for real-time sensor processing, supported by NVIDIA IGX. By incorporating NVIDIA’s specialised Isaac for Healthcare, Moon Surgical aims to design, test, and implement intelligent features on the Maestro System more effectively and safely.
Moon Surgical has already introduced several AI functionalities within an agentic AI Maestro demonstrator, which will be presented at the upcoming GTC conference. These features include the capability to create digital twins of operating room environments where the Maestro System is utilised, allowing for enhanced workflow analysis and adherence to surgeons’ preferences. Such capabilities are essential for improving operational efficiency and ensuring timely procedure initiation.
In a related development, XCath, a medical device company focused on advancing endovascular treatment options through telerobotic systems, has also announced the integration of AI-driven simulation powered by NVIDIA Isaac for Healthcare into its autonomous robotic platform. This enhancement positions XCath to provide high-quality care for stroke and other complex vascular conditions on a global scale.
