ScoPilot is an AI-powered feature on the Maestro System that ensures a stable and ideal view during surgery and aims to enhance control, safety, and efficiency in the operating room. On-demand and easy to use, ScoPilot allows the laparoscope attached to a Maestro System to follow a desired instrument tip seamlessly. The surgeon controls laparoscope positioning, without disengaging from the instruments in their hands, helping maintain surgical flow and focus.
"ScoPilot empowers surgeons to control three instruments with just two hands, while offering a stable, constantly optimal, and safe field of view that is crucial during surgery," said Anne Osdoit, CEO of Moon Surgical, and a Partner at Sofinnova Partners' MedTech accelerator, MD Start. "The control provided by Maestro's ScoPilot will enhance OR efficiency by making the surgeon more autonomous while improving procedural visualization."
Moon Surgical's commercial Maestro System, FDA-cleared in June 2024, has been used to treat over 1,100 patients across the United States and Europe, spanning general, bariatric, gynecologic, and urologic surgeries. With its unique and extensive ambient sensing, paired with NVIDIA-accelerated computing and AI, Maestro generates an unprecedented surgical dataset including multi-modal sensing and kinematics— thereby driving the development of next-generation Physical AI capabilities that enhance surgical care both in the operating room and across the broader perioperative workflow.
"Moon Surgical's software-defined platform has been a game-changer, driving a continuous stream of pioneering breakthroughs in the surgical robotics industry," said Kimberly Powell, vice president of healthcare at NVIDIA. " With ScoPilot, Moon Surgical has achieved the incredible feat of the first FDA-cleared AI-driven surgical movement natively integrated into a robotics platform and powered by Holoscan."
