Opening the Curtain on How We Build: A Brief Message from our CEO

Against the record

Vicarious Surgical Robotic System, from Vicarious Surgical, is at stage 1 of 5 on our ladder: demo only. Shown in videos or staged events; no units with customers. The latest milestone on its record is from 21 July 2026: Shareholders voted to shut Vicarious down and liquidate it at once, and the remaining staff lost their jobs. The company had raised about $300 million in total. Its service or maker has since stopped.

This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.

From the video's description

Over the past year, Vicarious Surgical has moved through one of the most defining stages in our company’s history, transforming bold engineering ideas into a surgical platform built for precision, safety, and reliability. Starting today, we’re opening the curtain on how that progress is made. In this message from CEO Stephen From, hear how we’re bringing more transparency to our development process, sharing not only what we build, but how we build it. This is a look inside the work, the decisions, and the discipline behind true surgical innovation.
