Medicaroid supports a society through medical robotics,
helping everyone live healthier, more peaceful lives.


Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Sysmex jointly established Medicaroid in 2013 in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, to realize their shared mission of supporting an aging society where everyone can live healthier, more peaceful lives through medical robots.

Since its establishment, Medicaroid has been developing robotic-assisted surgery systems, driven by advances in minimally invasive surgery—which help reduce the burden on patients—and the growing expectations for Made-in-Japan medical robots.
In 2020, Medicaroid obtained regulatory approval in Japan for marketing the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System and has since been advancing its expansion into the global market.

The medical environment is increasingly becoming more diverse and complex, and further changes are anticipated. In response to these changes, Medicaroid has continued to develop products based on the core value it has upheld since its founding: understanding the needs of healthcare professionals through close communication.

As expectations for the use of robotics in healthcare continue to grow, Medicaroid is committed to contributing to the medical field by delivering products and services that respond to the needs and aspirations of healthcare professionals.

Medicaroid is dedicated to providing robots that “serve and support people.”
Through these efforts, Medicaroid will continue to aim to contribute to a society where patients, their families, and healthcare professionals can all live healthier, more peaceful lives.
