Revolution in the operating room: Moon Surgical brings AI-supported technology into use

A breakthrough step in surgical innovation! Moon Surgical, a pioneering company with roots in France and the US, has received approval for its revolutionary ScoPilot technology from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This was officially announced on March 19, 2025. ScoPilot, powered by NVIDIA Holoscan, is the first AI-powered feature that can be easily deployed on commercial surgical robots to ensure optimal visibility for surgeons during procedures. This new technology is revolutionizing the way surgeries are performed by dramatically improving control, safety and efficiency in the operating room ots.at reported.

ScoPilot's functionality allows surgeons to precisely position the laparoscope without breaking contact with the surgical instruments. This not only promotes surgical flow but also minimizes distractions. “ScoPilot enables surgeons to control three instruments with just two hands while providing a safe field of view, which is critical during surgery,” said Anne Osdoit, CEO of Moon Surgical. The Maestro system has already been used in over 1,100 cases in numerous surgeries across the US and Europe, and the introduction of ScoPilot will significantly increase efficiency in the operating room, as well morningstar.com highlighted.

Technological advantages and future outlook

Moon Surgical's Maestro system, approved by the FDA back in June 2024, combines targeted sensing with AI to generate unparalleled surgical data sets. This technology not only supports the surgical process itself, but also improves the entire perioperative workflow. “Moon Surgical's software-defined platform has transformed the industry and is now leading the development of next-generation physical AI capabilities,” said Kimberly Powell, VP Healthcare at NVIDIA. With ScoPilot, Moon Surgical is setting new standards in medical robotics and creating a connected, digital surgical environment of the future.
