CAMBRIDGE, MA : Gianluca De Novi, Ph.D., a serial entrepreneur, the CEO of XSurgical, and  a faculty member at Harvard Medical School, was interviewed and featured on Channel 5’s “Cutting Edge” segment with Mike Wankum, to tell the story of XSurgical.

The segment discussed the remotely controlled surgical robot that XSurgical has built, which can be deployed in situations of disaster recovery, battlefield and even future travels into space. The surgical robot is able to perform minimally invasive surgery and open surgery, guided by surgeons from remote locations. The concept has received strong reviews from the military and the Department of Defense. XSurgical has also worked to develop the artificial intelligence to make subsequent robots fully autonomous.

De Novi’s segment aired on Friday, July 5th, a few more times over that weekend, and again on July 12th on Channel 5. The segment can be viewed by accessing this link. https://www.wcvb.com/article/bringing-the-skills-of-doctors-to-cutting-edge-robots/28304668

“I am honored to have this opportunity to tell XSurgical’s story and to share our vision,” said De Novi. “The power of robotics, and AI will dramatically change the way we can do things including performing  surgery.”
