Overview

Virtual Incision's MIRA is a miniaturized robotic-assisted surgery platform: a single small arm fastened directly to the operating table works transabdominally without a large base console, lowering the footprint and cost so smaller hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers can offer robotic surgery. A MIRA unit was tested aboard the ISS.
