Intuitive makes the da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical systems and the Ion endoluminal system, which surgeons use to perform minimally invasive procedures, along with the instruments and services that go with them.
It is the largest installed base of surgical robots, and it is building AI on top of the procedure data those systems capture (video, kinematics, telemetry); its July 2026 AI framework runs from data capture toward supervised autonomy, while its telesurgery software is still in development and not for sale.
Hospitals buy or lease da Vinci and Ion systems and then pay recurringly for instruments, accessories and service; instruments and accessories were 60% of Q2 2026 revenue.
