Read original articleSwitzerland-based LEM Surgical has introduced Dynamis, the world’s first commercially deployed surgical humanoid robot designed specifically for spine and orthopedic procedures. Showcased at CES 2026 within NVIDIA’s exhibition area, Dynamis features a three-arm robotic architecture that mimics human bimanual workflows, enabling surgeons to position instruments with sub-millimeter precision. The system integrates two robotic arms for surgical guidance and instrument handling, plus a third arm dedicated to controlling the navigation camera, all mounted on a mobile cart that minimizes operating room footprint. Dynamis leverages NVIDIA Isaac for Healthcare and onboard AI to compensate for micro-movements, enhancing stability and accuracy during complex spinal surgeries, including thoracic, lumbar, and sacral approaches. It has received FDA 510(k) clearance and is already in routine clinical use at Southern Hills Hospital in Las Vegas.
Looking ahead, LEM Surgical plans to evolve Dynamis by incorporating NVIDIA’s Physical AI ecosystem to further advance hard-tissue robotic surgery. Future iterations
