What is the name of the surgical robot system made by Intuitive Surgical?

The surgical robot system made by Intuitive Surgical is the da Vinci Surgical System.

Intuitive Surgical developed da Vinci as a computer-assisted platform for minimally invasive surgery. The system uses a surgeon-operated console, a patient-side cart with instrument arms, and a high-definition three-dimensional vision system. It does not independently decide how to perform an operation.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared the system for general laparoscopic surgery in 2000. Surgeons control the instruments directly, while the platform translates their hand movements into precise movements inside the patient’s body.

The name comes from Leonardo da Vinci, whose anatomical studies and mechanical designs inspired the branding. A common misconception is that da Vinci is an autonomous surgical robot; it is better described as a telemanipulated robotic surgical system.
