University of Tehran

Iran

The University of Tehran's Center of Advanced Systems and Technologies (CAST) has built Iran's Surena humanoids since 2008, under Professor Aghil Yousefi-Koma with a team that has grown past fifty researchers. The programme has run through four generations, each one lighter and more capable than the last, and it is the country's most visible robotics effort — a university laboratory rather than a company, developing the actuators, structure and control software in house.

Vicarious Surgical

United States

Vicarious Surgical is a surgical robotics company in Waltham, Massachusetts, developing a single-port robotic system for minimally invasive abdominal surgery. It was founded in 2014 by Adam Sachs (President), Sammy Khalifa (CTO) and Dr. Barry Greene (CMO), inspired by the film Fantastic Voyage, in which doctors shrink down to travel inside the human body - the founders' aim was to let surgeons do essentially the same, which required a new robotic architecture and new actuators. Its system puts a camera and two human-like robotic arms inside the abdomen through one small incision, with 3D stereoscopic visualisation and 28 sensors per arm replicating the surgeon's shoulder, elbow and wrist movements. The robot has received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, but has not been cleared by the FDA and is not for commercial sale in the United States. Stephen From is Chief Executive Officer and Sarah Romano Chief Financial Officer, and the company's stated mission is to make advanced minimally invasive surgery accessible to patients in every community at a predictably lower cost.

VideoRay

United States

VideoRay builds small, portable remotely operated underwater vehicles in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Its current line is the Mission Specialist series - Pro 5, Defender, Ally and Wraith - built on a shared modular architecture in which thrusters, floats, cameras, manipulators and sensors are interchangeable components on a common intelligent network, so a vehicle can be reconfigured for a mission, repaired in the field, or upgraded from one model to another rather than replaced. All four run the Greensea IQ operating system and take the same third-party payloads: Blueprint Subsea and Tritech sonars, Blueprint Seatrac USBL positioning, Nortek and Water Linked DVLs, Cygnus thickness gauges, Impact Subsea and YSI sensors, and Blueprint Lab manipulators. The vehicles are one-person portable and are used for civil and ship inspection, defence and explosive ordnance disposal, first response, nuclear and hydroelectric plant inspection, offshore energy, aquaculture, salvage, science and broadcast work - the U.S. Navy EOD, the Royal Netherlands Navy and the Costa Concordia salvage project among the cases the company publishes. VideoRay is now part of BlueHalo, which completed its transaction with AeroVironment, moving the company into a larger defence-technology group.

Virtual Incision

United States

Virtual Incision Corporation is a US surgical-robotics company based in Lincoln, Nebraska, on a mission to make every operating room robot-ready by miniaturizing robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). It argues that large mainframe surgical robots need dedicated operating rooms, specially trained staff and long setup and turnover, which is why it says around 90 percent of US operating rooms still lack robotic surgery. Its MIRA Surgical System, which it calls the world's first miniaturized RAS (miniRAS) device, is a roughly 2 lb robot that arrives sterilized in a tray, is inserted through a single port without draping or docking, and is controlled from an open surgeon console. The FDA granted MIRA De Novo marketing authorization for colectomy in February 2024 and 510(k) clearance for benign hysterectomy in August 2026; a version of the robot has also performed simulated procedures on the International Space Station. The company, which extended its Series C with an additional $30 million in 2023, is led by CEO Jim Alecxih.

Vizum

China

Beijing Vizum Technology Co., Ltd. (北京伟景智能科技有限公司) was founded in 2016 and works from a single conviction it states plainly: a robot cannot understand the physical world without a reliable 'robot eye', so stereo vision has to be solved before embodied intelligence is possible. It therefore runs a deliberate dual-core strategy — humanoid robots and stereo vision systems developed together — and has built the whole chain from core algorithms through hardware design to system integration. Its vision line covers active binocular 3D cameras for intelligent welding, general machine vision, multi-camera 3D modelling, Mark-point tracking and logistics parcel measurement, with claimed strengths in high-precision 3D reconstruction and stability under strong light, complex reflection and dust. On top of that sit the robots: an intelligent welding robot for heavy industry, shipbuilding and steel structures, and the Xiaowei humanoid, offered in wheeled AGV, tracked picking and bipedal forms. Vizum reports more than 200 patent applications including over 90 invention patents, and describes its roadmap as eye, brain and chip together — miniaturising the robot eye, building a vision-centred embodied AI brain from accumulated industrial data, and developing a dedicated vision chip. It runs subsidiaries as Shaanxi ViHero Technology in Xianyang and Dongguan Vizum Technology in Guangdong.
