New platforms, including humanoid ‘Kaya’, signal push to take advanced care beyond hospitals

New Delhi, Apr 09: New surgical platforms designed to move operating rooms out of conventional hospital settings and closer to patients were unveiled in the capital on Wednesday, as India positioned itself at the forefront of emerging robotic surgery technologies.

 

At the third Global SSI Multi-Specialty Robotic Surgery Conference (SMRSC) 2026, held at Bharat Mandapam, SS Innovations International introduced two new systems, Project Vimana and Project Operion along with humanoid applications under its AVTARA programme, featuring a humanoid named Kaya.

 

The three-day conference, which opened on Wednesday, has drawn over 1,500 doctors and more than 250 experts from India and abroad. The programme includes live demonstrations, with 15 telesurgeries and 14 robotic-assisted procedures scheduled using the company’s Mantra systems.

 

The focus, participants said, is increasingly on reducing the gap between diagnosis and intervention, particularly in regions where access to advanced surgical care remains limited.

 

Project Vimana, one of the key unveilings, is designed as a compact surgical system that enables doctors to perform procedures remotely using robotic arms. The system is equipped to handle emergency interventions such as bleeding control, chest decompression and wound management, allowing surgeons to operate through a command interface.

 

Alongside it, Project Operion was presented as a mobile operating room built on a wheeled platform. With overhead-integrated robotics and a compact design, the system allows flexible deployment across hospitals, remote locations and disaster-hit areas. It also supports remote procedures through connected surgical systems, enabling specialists to operate without being physically present.

 

The company also showcased a single-arm robotic system for endoscopy and ultrasound procedures. The system is designed to provide controlled and stable positioning of instruments, while remaining compatible with existing hospital infrastructure.

 

A separate focus area at the conference was humanoid robotics. Under its AVTARA programme, SS Innovations introduced applications built around a humanoid platform named Kaya. The system is being developed for roles across healthcare, logistics, disaster response and industrial settings, with an emphasis on tasks that require precision and human-like interaction with tools and environments.

 

Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, Prataprao Jadhav, who attended the event, said India’s medical technology sector is seeing increased domestic innovation.

 

Among those present were Frederic Moll, Madhusudan Sai and Mylswamy Annadurai, who spoke about scaling innovation and improving access. The conference also featured a technology showcase area where participants interacted with robotic systems and surgical tools.

 

Organisers said the discussions over the three days will focus on integrating robotics, artificial intelligence and remote systems into routine healthcare delivery.
