About
Revolutionizing Robotic Surgery
— and making it accessible
Our innovative robot has received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. This is a significant milestone toward turning our vision into reality.
Our vision is to design a surgical robot that enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery with 3D visualization and accurate control.
We push for a better medical ecosystem, from the patient journey, to the operating room staff experience, to improved training, procedures, and outcomes.
We champion a healthcare industry where patients in every community can expect and have access to the most advanced quality care, at a predictably lower cost, with the best possible results.
We are Vicarious Surgical.
How It All Started
A New Reality Inspired By Science Fiction.
Vicarious Surgical was founded in 2014 by Adam Sachs, Sammy Khalifa, and Dr. Barry Greene. Inspired by the movie Fantastic Voyage in which doctors shrink down in size to travel within the human body, the founders’ vision was to enable surgeons to essentially do the same. The solution had to be an entirely separate design of not just robotic architecture, but of the actuators themselves.
As with all innovations, great ideas took the form of exciting prototypes. Determination drove achievement. And achievement fueled a wonderful sense of pride and purpose. This was their own fantastic voyage; one that took them further than they had ever imagined, and was about to take laparoscopic surgery even further.
