Missed the Live Event? Watch the AI Surgical Robotics Demo On-Demand
Explore the Future of Surgical Robotics — Powered by AI and Industry Leaders
Couldn’t attend the live demo at the MEDevice Conference? Now you can access the full AI surgical robotics demo on demand and see how MedAcuity, in collaboration with SiMa.ai, Kontron, and KUKA, is shaping the future of surgical robotics.
This on-demand recording highlights a real world implementation of AI in a robotic surgery system — from edge AI acceleration to embedded computing and robotic control.
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.
