Panda Surgical sits in early neurosurgical robotics infrastructure, with handheld robotic instruments designed for confined cranial and spinal workflows. Its positioning is differentiated by combining wristed micro-instruments with AI-supported workflow assistance in a surgeon-controlled handheld format.
Panda Surgical was awarded £377,967 by Innovate UK to develop an AI "co-pilot" for robotic neurosurgery in an 18-month collaboration with UCLH. The tool helps neurosurgeons maintain orientation during procedures, reducing the mental workload.
