It fuses ultrasound with other imaging techniques for robot-assisted ultrasound diagnostics and automatic tissue examination. The technology was transferred to Covidien/Medtronic for commercialization. MIRO is DLR's competence center for medical robotics.
How much does MIRO cost?
MIRO's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for MIRO from DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.
Is MIRO actually deployed in the real world?
MIRO is at the research stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.
Who makes MIRO?
MIRO is made by DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, based in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.
Can you buy MIRO?
MIRO is at research stage and is not yet available for sale.
What are alternatives to MIRO?
On the DEPLOY registry, comparable other robots to MIRO include 10Beauty Manicure System, CleanSpark Bitcoin Mining Fleet, Blueye X3 Ultra, PillPick.
How does MIRO compare to 10Beauty Manicure System?
MIRO and 10Beauty Manicure System (10Beauty · 6 deployments) are both other robots on the DEPLOY registry. MIRO has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
Is MIRO a top other?
On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, MIRO ranks in roughly the top 83% of other models tracked by the registry.
What is MIRO's maturity stage?
MIRO is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file.
Where is MIRO deployed?
No verified deployments of MIRO are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
Is MIRO safe?
MIRO has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
