Modular, portable collaborative surgical robotic system whose independent bedside units each provide 7 degrees-of-freedom wristed articulation that mimics human arm movement for minimally invasive surgery; no OR infrastructure modification required. Versius Plus adds Vision for Versius enhanced imaging and AI-assisted haptic guidance. The digital ecosystem (clinical registry + procedure analytics) enables outcomes benchmarking across the install base. Not a fully autonomous system; the surgeon retains direct control; but the platform is software-defined and continuously updated over-the-air.
