The MIRA Surgical Platform is a portable robot that allows surgeons to perform real-time minimally invasive single incision surgeries in any hospital or health center, without the need for the dedicated space or infrastructure typically required for “mainframe” robotic systems. Weighing only two pounds, the miniature platform has full robotic capabilities, and can easily be moved from room to room. The system is designed to enable complex, multi-quadrant abdominal surgeries using a simple, handheld device.
