Summary

A groundbreaking 'Surgical Humanoid' robot with two coordinated arms and dynamic vision now performs routine spinal surgeries at a Las Vegas hospital, while developers plan to integrate NVIDIA's AI technology for even greater surgical autonomy.

Key Points

  • LEM Surgical showcases the world's first 'Surgical Humanoid' called the Dynamis Robotic Surgical System at CES 2026, featuring two robotic arms working in coordinated unison with dynamic vision to mimic human surgeon bimanual dexterity
  • The Dynamis system is already FDA-cleared and currently being used routinely for spinal procedures at Southern Hills Hospital in Las Vegas, making it a commercial reality rather than just a concept
  • LEM Surgical announces plans to integrate NVIDIA's Physical AI tools including Jetson Thor, Isaac for Healthcare, and Cosmos platforms into future iterations of the Dynamis system to achieve unprecedented autonomy and situational awareness
