Current platform

Maestro

Moon Surgical (private, with offices in Paris and San Carlos, California; led by CEO Anne Osdoit, with Intuitive Surgical co-founder Fred Moll as board chair and backers including Sofinnova Partners and NVIDIA's venture arm NVentures) makes Maestro, a laparoscopic surgical-assistant and collaboration robot that holds and positions instruments and the endoscope alongside the surgeon rather than acting as a full master-slave teleoperation console, targeting the large pool of soft-tissue procedures unserved by teleoperated robots. The commercial Maestro received FDA 510(k) clearance under K240598 on June 5, 2024, and the company reports more than 1,100 patients treated across the US and Europe, on roughly $90 million-plus in funding. A notable AI distinction in this cohort: Maestro's ScoPilot is a genuinely shipped, FDA-cleared AI feature for intraoperative scope control, powered by NVIDIA Holoscan and cleared with a Predetermined Change Control Plan, rather than a mere demonstration, which sets Maestro apart from the teleoperation-only platforms here. A pathway correction worth recording: Maestro went the 510(k) route under K240598, not the de novo route sometimes assumed, with the contemporaneous de novo authorizations belonging to different companies such as Virtual Incision and MMI. The registry records Maestro at commercial maturity, an early-commercial collaborative-assist robot past its gating event, while noting that its CE mark status, exact installed-system count, and the more-than-1,100-patients figure are not independently verified.

Explainers

Plain-language answers to the questions people ask about Moon Surgical, from DEPLOY’s explainer library. Each is written in the language of the question and cross-checked against this registry.

What is a surgical robot?
A surgical robot is a computer-assisted operative platform that places robotic arms, instruments, and visualization systems between the surgeon and the patient. The 2026 commercial cohort includes Intuitive Surgical (da Vinci + Ion; 11,395 + 1,041 systems installed per SEC 10-Q), Medtronic Hugo, CMR Surgical Versius, Asensus/Karl Storz Senhance, Stereotaxis Genesis, Distalmotion Dexter, Moon Surgical Maestro (ScoPilot is the cohort's genuine shipped surgical AI standout, FDA-cleared with a Predetermined Change Control Plan), and Brain Navi NaoTrac (autonomous registration, not tissue manipulation). J&J Ottava (De Novo submission January 2026) and Vicarious Surgical V1 remain pre-market research per DEPLOY's FDA-clearance-as-gating-event framework. The autonomy spectrum runs from teleoperated baseline through analytics AI to narrow autonomous registration; tissue-manipulation autonomy remains research demos on production hardware, not shipped product.Read the full explainer →
What is Moon Surgical Maestro?
Moon Surgical Maestro is the Maestro Laparoscopy Co-Pilot, an FDA-cleared ASSISTIVE (NOT replacement) robotic system for laparoscopic procedures from Moon Surgical, a French-US dual-base company founded 2020. Per DEPLOY's surgical cluster framework: FDA 510(k) K240598 cleared June 2024 (primary-source FDA database verification). EDITORIAL DISTINCTION: assistive-laparoscopy positioning. Maestro augments surgeons within existing laparoscopic procedures rather than replacing them as full surgical platforms (Intuitive da Vinci, Medtronic Hugo, CMR Versius, J&J Ottava). Smaller-footprint OR integration + commercial-niche positioning. Per DEPLOY's surgical cluster framework, Maestro is the cohort's genuine shipped assistive-AI exemplar within the broader replacement-robotics cluster. Cohort positioning: assistive-laparoscopy commercial-niche archetype within the surgical cluster, extending the cluster's structural axes from FDA-clearance-posture (Wave 1) into clinical-domain + commercial-model variance (Wave 2).Read the full explainer →
Which surgical robot is most deployed?
Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci: 11,106 systems installed worldwide as of Dec 31, 2025 per its 10-K, roughly an order of magnitude ahead of every soft-tissue competitor. Stryker Mako is the only credible challenger on procedure volume, via orthopedics.Read the full explainer →
