XSurgical Touts MTEC Membership and Future in Surgical Robotics

XSurgical, a firm that is developing a remote-controlled surgical robot technology, has been accepted for membership into the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC). MTEC operates as a biomedical technology consortium that collaborates with multiple government agencies to foster integrated research partnerships in an effort to speed up the development of medical technology solutions for military, veterans, and the civilian population. “The consortium will allow us to collaborate with biomedical technology colleagues at different companies, as well as with multiple government agencies in order to foster integrated research partnerships that will enhance and speed up our development,” said XSurgical CEO Ginauca DeNovi. “XSurgical is committed to bringing surgical robotics to the next level. We created our headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts to harness the leading research, innovation, and talent that comes from the world class universities that are affiliated with the most advanced teaching hospitals in the world.” The company has developed two iterations of remote-controlled surgical robots, aptly names Alpha and Beta, but is now focusing on a third iteration known as Gamma. Gamma will use artificial intelligence to make the robot more efficient, in an effort to create a technology that will allow robots to be fully autonomous. This will enable robotic surg...
