Yukalyptus builds robotic tools for laparoscopic surgery. Surgeon-held, surgeon-controlled, and designed to work in the operating rooms hospitals already have.

We are a robotic medical equipment manufacturer focused on bringing robotic assistance into more procedures, more rooms, and more hospitals. Our first products are the LumaArm motorized endoscope positioner and the LumaGrip articulated handheld instrument. They open a roadmap of surgeon-controlled tools designed to expand what laparoscopic surgery can do.

Our work isn’t measured only by what the tool can do. We design for the things that decide whether robotic surgery is actually worth adopting: better outcomes at the tissue, less strain on the surgeons doing the work, a real path to cost recovery for the hospital, and access for patients who currently don’t get robotic care at all.

Every design decision is made against the failure modes that matter at the tissue. Academic ties at UCSD and industry partnerships ground that work in real clinical input from the people who’ll use the tool.
