SS Innovations International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSII) unveiled several cutting-edge surgical robotic technologies at the Global Multi-Specialty Robotic Surgery Conference (SMRSC 2026) held in New Delhi, India. The innovations, currently under development, include the SSi Vimana Aero Drone System, the SSi Avtara Humanoid Surgical Platform, the SSi Operion Mobile Operating Room, and new single-arm robotic endoscopy and ultrasound assist carts. These technologies are designed to make robotic surgery more accessible and affordable, particularly in remote and high-stakes environments.
The SSi Vimana Aero is a surgical robotic system deployed via a heavy-lift autonomous drone, intended to bring expert surgical care to wounded soldiers in active battle zones. It features two miniature robotic arms with seven degrees of freedom, equipped with 5-millimeter instruments, and is operated remotely by a trauma surgeon through an SSi Mantra command center. The system aims to address hemorrhaging, wound repair, chest decompression, shrapnel extraction, and field suturing, stabilizing patients until evacuation arrives.
Another innovation, the SSi Avtara, leverages humanoid systems for high-impact surgical robotic applications in healthcare, defense, logistics, disaster response, and industrial settings. Integrated with artificial intelligence and teleoperation frameworks, it is designed for trainability and adaptability in hazardous or inaccessible environments. The company anticipates its human-compatible design will enable seamless interaction with existing infrastructure.
The SSi Operion is a fully mobile, platform-agnostic operating room ecosystem built on a wheeled chassis with overhead-integrated robotics and a zero-footprint architecture. It suspends surgical components from an overhead system, allowing 360-degree clinician access and real-time reconfiguration. With integrated telesurgery capabilities, it is expected to enable remote operations, expanding access to advanced surgical care in defense, humanitarian missions, and rural healthcare delivery.
The new single-arm robotic endoscopy and ultrasound assist carts are currently in early clinical validation phases in India. They provide stable, precise positioning of endoscopic and ultrasound instruments under direct clinician supervision, with controlled speed and force limits to ensure safety. Compatibility with standard hospital infrastructure allows seamless integration into existing workflows.
SMRSC 2026 drew over 1,600 attendees and 1,800 virtual participants from 19 nations. Expert physicians conducted 10 live telesurgeries and 13 live robotic surgeries using the SSi Mantra system. The conference featured panel discussions across multiple specialties and cardiac-focused breakout sessions. Prominent guests included Dr. Fred Moll, Vice-Chairman and recognized as the “Father of Robotic Surgery”; Shri Pratap Rao Jadhav, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare of India; and Sri Madhusudan Sai, a global humanitarian.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman and CEO of SS Innovations, stated, “Innovation is in our DNA. Beyond continuously improving our advanced, cost-effective SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and telesurgery capabilities, we strive to pioneer new surgical robotic technologies that will meaningfully improve healthcare for a wider segment of patients in need.”
