The brief

Analyst view

• Maestro is an assistant, not a replacement robot: two arms hold the camera and instruments while the surgeon operates normally.
• ScoPilot (FDA-cleared Mar 2025) makes the camera follow the surgeon's instrument tip, running on NVIDIA Holoscan.
• Over 1,100 patients treated by March 2025; a dataset of 3,000+ procedures trains its AI (June 2026).

Technical approach

As reported

Co-manipulation

Arms the surgeon pushes by hand

The arms unlock when moved and lock in place when let go, with no pedal or voice command, so they act like a steady extra pair of hands.

AI on the edge

Vision models run in the OR

Computer vision runs locally on the robot to track instruments and steer the camera, and to automate set-up.

Open platform

Third-party apps

From v2.7 (June 2026) outside AI apps run on Maestro, starting with automatic operative reports and billing codes.
