“Since the inception of robotic surgery, the surgical console has been envisioned to be a site of integration – of robotic surgery, image-guided surgery, pre-operative planning & surgical rehearsal, and simulation, training & assessment.  Any technology which brings together the real world of robotics and the ‘virtual’ world of simulation helps realize the revolution which robotic surgery promises.”

Intuitive Surgical

 

Since 2003, Mimic has enjoyed a fruitful collaboration with Intuitive Surgical®. Mimic has licensed Intuitive Surgical ® technology in order to create a highly realistic da Vinci ® simulator. This included technology related to the robot kinematics, instrument design, vision display, multimedia content, and the da Vinci ® API.  In fact, the virtual representation of the robot and instruments were created from the original CAD files used to manufacture the real da Vinci ® robot. Through our continued partnership with Intuitive Surgical ®, Mimic hopes to introduce our customers to new da Vinci ® technology in the virtual world soon after such technology becomes available in the real world.

 

da Vinci ® Si Simulation


Mimic has been working with Intuitive Surgical ® to investigate the feasibility of integrating Mimic simulation software with the da Vinci ® Si Surgeon Console. The simulator helps surgeons familiarize themselves with various features that differentiate the da Vinci ® S and Si models. Be sure to visit the Intuitive Surgical booth at upcoming tradeshows to preview Mimic simulation on the Si Surgeon Console.
