Robotic tools built around the surgeon.

Surgeon-controlled robotic instruments designed to plug into the OR you already have.

Robotic endoscope holder

Yukalyptus LumaArm™

The LumaArm is a motorized endoscope positioner for minimally invasive surgical procedures. The surgeon controls the camera's position directly via foot pedal or voice control, with no assistant in the camera-holding loop, no shaky frame, and no missed angle. When the surgeon enables it, the LumaArm is designed to track the instruments autonomously, holding the view centered while leaving the surgeon free to take back manual control at any time.

Stable, reliable viewEliminates camera shake, assistant drift, and miscommunication for a steady operating field.
Surgeon-controlledVoice-activated or foot-pedal control, with multilingual voice commands. The surgeon's hands stay on the instruments.
Autonomous AI tracking, opt-inDesigned to follow the instruments automatically and keep them centered in frame, so the surgeon can stay focused on the tissue. Tracking is opt-in: the surgeon enables it when useful and can switch it off to take over by voice or foot pedal at any time.
Memorized key positionsSave and recall framing instantly for repeat steps and rapid intra-op setup.
Fits the OR you already haveA self-contained surgical cart — no remote console room, no permanent install, no specialist tech to set up.
Limited tissue contactKeeps the endoscope clear of the patient's organs, reducing fogging, soiling, and trauma.
Autoclavable, modularSterile-draped electronics, quick-release sterile laparoscope mount, reusable instrument set.

Clinical applications

Cholecystectomy
Hernia repair
Appendectomy
Hysterectomy
Sacrocolpopexy
Pediatric & thoracic laparoscopy

Yukalyptus LumaGrip shown in full: ergonomic handle and trigger, motorized control module, shaft, and articulated end-effector tip.

Articulated robotic instrument

Yukalyptus LumaGrip™

The LumaGrip is a motorized, surgeon-held instrument with 7 degrees of freedom — a fully wristed instrument tip with the full 7-DoF dexterity of console robotics, plus motion scaling and native haptic feedback. Robotic-grade dexterity without the docking time or per-case license of a closed system, at a fraction of the capital.

Fully articulated — 7 DoFWristed articulation (±90° pitch, ±90° yaw) plus grip — built for intra-abdominal procedures.
Unlimited jaw rotationBidirectional flexion of the instrument tip, with intuitive one-finger control of motorized movements.
3:1 motion scaling, tremor-freeSurgeon hand motion scaled at the tip, with active 8–12 Hz physiological tremor filtering.
Native haptic feedbackForce transmits through the shaft, not a console — the surgeon feels the tissue.
Grip shaped to your handParametric handle geometry scaled to the individual surgeon's hand instead of a one-size average, with support for right- and left-handed use. The grip geometry follows published ergonomic research linking handle shape to a neutral wrist and lower hand strain, including EMG muscle-load and pinch-force studies across 135 surgeons.
Modular end-effectorsMonopolar scissors, precision dissectors, monopolar hooks, micro-textured needle holders — each Yukalyptus-certified for the 7-DoF articulation envelope, with monopolar energy supplied by the LumaGrip's integrated electrosurgical generator.

Clinical applications

Cholecystectomy (first indication)
Hysterectomy & sacrocolpopexy
Fundoplication
Radical prostatectomy
Colorectal anastomosis
Bariatric gastric bypass

Built to your hand

Shaped to your hand. Not the average of everyone’s.

Most laparoscopic instruments come in one size, so the surgeon’s hand adapts to the tool. Over a career of long cases that mismatch becomes pressure, fatigue, and strain injury. Studies have found as many as 87% of surgeons who regularly perform laparoscopic surgery report hand and wrist strain. LumaGrip starts from the opposite premise. The grip is parametric, and its geometry scales to fit the individual surgeon’s hand. The shape is grounded in published research on surgical hand ergonomics, not a single fixed mold.

Parametric geometry

Every key dimension of the grip is driven by a single parameter, so the whole handle scales as one coherent shape instead of jumping between a few stock sizes.

Sized to your hand

We measure the surgeon's hand and scale the grip's diameter and contact radii to fit it. The grip is matched to the hand rather than a population average, spreading contact across the palm and fingers instead of concentrating it on a few pressure points.

Built for the long case

A neutral wrist and balanced pressure cut the hand fatigue that builds over hours of operating and accumulates across a career.

Modular tool system

One handle. Every end-effector the case needs.

LumaGrip’s quick-release jaw mount accepts the four primary end-effector families for laparoscopic surgery — each independently sterilizable and Yukalyptus-certified for the 7-DoF articulation envelope. Monopolar energy for the energized tips is supplied by the LumaGrip’s integrated electrosurgical generator.

Monopolar Scissors

Energized sharp dissection with simultaneous hemostasis.

Precision Dissector

Atraumatic grasping and blunt dissection in tight planes.

Monopolar Hook

Targeted electrosurgical separation along anatomical planes.

Micro-Textured Needle Holder

Secure needle control for intracorporeal suturing.

What hospitals and surgeons buy on

Safer cases. Faster cases. Lower cost per case.

Three principles guide every decision — from joint count to sterilization workflow — and they’re the same three things hospitals and surgeons actually buy on.

Safer at the tissue

Active tremor filtering (8–12 Hz), 3:1 motion scaling, native haptic feedback, and a surgeon-controlled steady view designed to reduce inadvertent tissue contact and assistant-induced variance.

Faster in the OR

No console, no docking, no room rebuild. The tools operate in your existing OR and build on established laparoscopic technique, keeping both setup and the learning curve short. Wristed articulation speeds suturing and dissection, the steps that consume the most operative time.

Cheaper per case

Per-device pricing in place of $500K–$2.5M capital systems. No room rebuild, no proprietary disposable license per case, no vendor lock-in. Hospitals adopt one tool at a time, on the OR they already have.
