Experience the AI Surgical Robotics Demo at MEDevice Boston
Automated Game of Operation Demo
Experience real-time AI + robotics in surgical automation powered by MedAcuity, SiMa.ai, Kontron, and KUKA.

What You’ll See
Join us at MEDevice Boston to watch AI and robotics come together in a playful—but powerful—demo. Using the classic Game of Operation, we’ll show how embedded AI enables high-precision robotic movement, simulating the kind of responsiveness required in surgical settings.
Date: September 30 – October 1, 2025

How It Works
Vision + Detection
A high-res camera, mounted on a KUKA LBR iiwa robotic arm, streams live video.
A YOLOv8 AI model, running on the SiMa.ai MLSoC Dev Kit, detects and tracks game pieces in real time.
Motion + Control
Object data is sent to a Kontron embedded system, which calculates precise motion paths.
The robotic arm responds with closed-loop feedback, guided entirely by AI—just like in surgical robotics.
