Rob Surgical is a Spain-based medical devices startup founded in 2012 with the slogan "Universalising high-precision surgery." The company's innovative platform offers a column of four arms, providing sub-millimetre precision in surgical instrument control. Its value proposition focuses on high precision and safety for patients, superior usability for surgeons, and a significant reduction in total surgery costs for hospitals.
The company's ability to facilitate hybrid surgeries, allowing for alternating between manual and high-precision robot-assisted manoeuvres using the same instruments, sets it apart. This approach not only reduces time and operation costs but also provides flexibility and cost-efficiency for hospitals. Rob Surgical is a spin-off from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and the Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya (IBEC). The founding team, including Dr. Josep Amat, Dr. Alícia Casals, Dr. Manel Frigola, and the entrepreneur Jaume Amat, remains vital to the company's success.
Over the years, Rob Surgical has secured over 20 million euros in funding from both private investors and public sources. This backing signifies confidence in the company's vision and its potential to revolutionize precision surgery on a global scale.
