Technical approach

As reported
Platform

One console, two kinds of robot

Multi-port and single-port robots share the surgeon's console and 3D vision, so a hospital owning one adds the other by buying only the patient-side cart.

In-house

Builds its own core parts

Edge designs its arms, wire-driven instruments, control software and imaging itself, sharing parts across products so new models come faster.

Remote

Surgery over a network

Its cloud telesurgery system lets a surgeon in one city operate a robot in another, used for cross-campus and cross-border operations.

Export

Most sales abroad

About 70% of first-half 2026 revenue came from robots sold for overseas hospitals, in markets such as Brazil, Italy, Spain, Turkey, India and Indonesia.
