Surgical robotics company CMR Surgical has announced it is an early adopter of NVIDIA IGX Thor as it evaluates its integration into the Versius Surgical Robotic System.
IGX Thor is NVIDIA’s latest and most powerful platform designed for physical AI and robotics, delivering up to 5,581 FP4 TFLOPS of AI compute with 400 GBe of connectivity.
CMR says its aim is to enable the data captured from every Versius procedure to improve all surgeries. Working closely with NVIDIA, CMR will evaluate IGX Thor’s AI capabilities for the next-generation of Versius.
Versius captures telematic, video and patient outcome data through its digital ecosystem. The system delivers those insights through the Versius Connect app, Versius Team and Customer dashboards.
Chris Fryer, Chief Technology Officer at CMR Surgical said: “This announcement reflects our strategic intent in leveraging the formidable potential of AI and represents a further step forward in our mission to deliver real-time insights that improve outcomes. The goal of AI isn’t to replace surgeons, but to empower them. We’re excited to explore how NVIDIA IGX Thor can revolutionise the AI capabilities within the Versius ecosystem and look forward to continuing to work closely with the NVIDIA team.”
The company says the Versius system has performed c.40,000 surgical cases to date and is being used across a broad range of specialties including urology, general surgery, gynaecology, and thoracic surgery in leading hospitals around the world.
