Shanghai-based Ronovo develops broad, cross-specialty robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) technology. It unveiled the Carina platform in February 2023 as a modular system built on proprietary technology to enable configurable robotic assistance for laparoscopic surgeries across multiple specialties.

Carina addresses numerous pain points in minimally invasive surgeries. The company says it provides surgeons with the flexibility to choose the best instruments and the most ideal anatomical access.

Last June, the company raised $46 million, with eyes on bringing the robot to the market in China.
