At SMRSC 2026, SS Innovations Announced Vision For Surgical Robotic Technologies

SS Innovations has unveiled its vision for several cutting-edge surgical robotic technologies at the Global Multi-Speciality Robotic Surgery Conference (“SMRSC 2026”), which the Company recently hosted in New Delhi, India.   Key innovations under development by the Company and showcased at SMRSC 2026 include the SSi Vimana Aero Drone System (the “SSi Vimana Aero”), the SSi Avtara Humanoid Surgical Platform (the “SSi Avtara”), the SSi Operion Mobile Operating Room (the “SSi Operion”), and new single-arm robotic endoscopy and ultrasound assist carts.

The SSi Vimana Aero is a surgical robotic system currently under development and designed to bring expert robotic surgical care directly to wounded soldiers in active battle zones, bridging the critical time gap between initial point of injury and eventual medical evacuation from the frontlines. Deployed via a heavy-lift autonomous drone, the SSi Vimana Aero can land in proximity to the casualty and deploy two miniature robotic arms with seven degrees of freedom. A trauma surgeon then can remotely operate the SSi Vimana Aero, which is equipped with 5-millimeter surgical instruments, through an SSi Mantra surgeon command center. The SSi Vimana Aero platform is intended to address hemorrhaging, wound repair, chest decompression, shrapnel extraction, and field suturing, among other procedures, to help stabilize patients until evacuation teams arrive.  

The SSi Avtara, another innovation under conceptual development, aims to leverage the advanced mobility, dexterity, and perception capabilities of humanoid systems for high-impact surgical robotic applications spanning healthcare, defense, logistics, disaster response, and industrial settings. Integrated with artificial intelligence, teleoperation frameworks, and real-time sensing, the SSi Avtara will be designed for trainability, continuous learning, adaptability, and precision in the field. From assisting clinical workflows to operating in hazardous or otherwise inaccessible environments, the Company anticipates that the platform’s human-compatible design will enable seamless interaction with existing infrastructure and tools.

The SSi Operion, also currently under development, is a fully mobile, platform-agnostic operating room ecosystem designed for seamless deployment across hospitals, remote locations, combat areas, and disaster zones. The SSi Operion is designed to be built on a wheeled chassis with overhead-integrated robotics and a zero-footprint architecture, which seeks to eliminate conventional spatial constraints by suspending all surgical components from an integrated overhead system, enabling 360-degree clinician access, real-time reconfiguration, and seamless deployment. With integrated telesurgery capabilities and low-latency connectivity, the SSi Operion is expected to enable expert surgeons to operate remotely, expanding access to advanced surgical care across geographies. From defence operations to humanitarian missions and rural healthcare delivery, SS Innovations believes that SSi Operion holds potential to transform the operating room into a deployable, mission-ready asset.

The Company’s new single-arm robotic endoscopy and ultrasound assist carts, currently proceeding through early clinical validation phases in India, are designed to provide stable, precise, and repeatable positioning of endoscopic and ultrasound instruments within clinical environments, bringing robotic consistency to workflows. Operating under direct clinician supervision, the robotic arms incorporate controlled speed, force limits, and predictable motion behavior, ensuring safe interaction with both patients and operators. Compatibility with standard hospital infrastructure and existing clinical workflows allows for seamless integration into established clinical settings.

Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of SS Innovations, commented, “Innovation is in our DNA. Beyond continuously improving our advanced, cost-effective SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and telesurgery capabilities, we strive to pioneer new surgical robotic technologies that will meaningfully improve healthcare for a wider segment of patients in need. SMRSC 2026, our largest conference yet, successfully elevated this important theme.”
