In Surgical / Medical, CMR Surgical, BD Rowa and Catalia Health have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Medicaroid Corporation develops and manufactures the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System, Japan's first domestically designed robotic-assisted surgery platform. The system is primarily used in urology, adult surgery, and gynecology, offering high maneuverability, compactness, and safety. hinotori™ reproduces surgeons' sensitive movements and has demonstrated precision in simulated neonatal cavities as small as 125 mL. Approved by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in August 2020, the system is currently approved for use only in Japan. Medicaroid is a joint venture between Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Sysmex Corporation.

Why Medicaroid has been in the news, across 1 outlet, collected and classified independently, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes a robot's RoboScore (the evidence half of the RoboIndex) and it can move a robot up a board by at most 15 points.
Safety reports
Japanese workplace accidents reach the labour ministry and product incidents reach NITE. We read both, and they are small files.
