New Delhi: SS Innovations International (SSII), the makers of the home-grown robotics surgery platform SSI Mantra, has introduced the Vimana drone-based surgical system, the Operion operating room ecosystem and the Kaya Humanoid for support applications at the Third Global SSI Multi-Specialty Robotic Surgery Conference (SMRC) 2026, at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi. The Vimana drone is mounted with a pair of miniaturised robotic arms, is controlled by a surgeons, and deliver trauma stabilisation at point of injury on the frontlines. The heavy-lift drone is designed to deliver robotic surgical care directly to wounded soldiers in forward combat drones. Project Vimana allows trauma surgeons to perform life-saving procedures remotely, using the SSI Mantra Surgeon Command Centre.
Project Operion is a platform agnostic operating room ecosystem. It is built on a wheeled chassis with Overhead-Integrated Robotics and a Zero-Footprint Architecture. This is a mobile operating room, with all the surgical components suspended from an integrated overhead system, allowing for 360 degree access from physicians, real-time reconfiguration as per the requirements of various surgeries, along with seamless deployment across hospitals, remote locations and disaster zones. SSI also unveiled the Single Arm Robotic Endoscopy and Ultrasound Assist Cart that allows for private checkups in remove environments using a single module of the surgical robotics system.
Reimagining how surgery is delivered
Founder, Chairman and CEO of SSII, Sudhir Srivastava said, “SMRSC 2026 underlines our commitment to advancing surgical innovation from India to the global stage, while marking a significant milestone in our mission to make world-class surgical care more accessible to all. With the showcase of our futuristic technologies like Project Vimana and Project Operion, we are reimagining how and where surgery can be delivered — whether it is on the battlefield, in disaster zones, or in the most remote parts of the country. Furthermore, these innovations are not just technological breakthroughs; they represent a fundamental shift in how and where healthcare can be delivered.”
