Imagine this scenario: A surgeon is set to suture pieces of soft tissue on a patient, but instead of doing the whole procedure by himself, he turns to a surgical robot for assistance.
Auris Surgical Robotics just raised an impressive $150 million Series B, ostensibly to develop its eye surgery robot. The company's been backed by the Peter Thiel venture firm Mithril Capital Management.
Nebraska startup Virtual Incision just raised $11.2 million for its robotic surgery device that embeds a robot in the body - letting surgeons work from the inside, out.
Boston Consulting Group put together a slick series of infographics that track the evolution of robotics since the 1950s. The graphs show that robotics didn’t really make waves in the life sciences until 2000 and later – but today, robotic surgery is rapidly gaining a place in the medical community. All signs point toward that evolution chart […]
