Vicarious Surgical Inc. (NYSE: RBOT) (the “Company”), a next-generation robotics technology company seeking to improve lives by transforming robotic surgery, announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with a global digital engineering and software development services firm. This engagement is a central component of the Company’s broader operating model transformation, designed to improve execution, increase development predictability, and reduce operating expenses as reflected in the Company’s cash burn guidance, through a more efficient mix of internal and external engineering resources.
Under the agreement, the external engineering partner will assume responsibility for a significant portion of the software development activities that support the Vicarious Surgical robotic system. This includes engineering support for control systems, visualization, and key workflow components. The partner’s global footprint and mature engineering processes are expected to increase development velocity and enhance milestone predictability while lowering structural cost.
“This agreement strengthens our ability to execute while improving the efficiency of our operating model,” said Stephen From, Chief Executive Officer of Vicarious Surgical. “Partnering with an organization that has scaled programs of similar complexity allows us to focus our internal teams on core innovation, system level integration, and the work that most directly advances us toward design freeze and clinical readiness.”
The partner has begun onboarding through a structured transition plan that maintains continuity across all active workstreams. The engagement aligns with the Company’s strategic effort to optimize its cost base and streamline development pathways. The new hybrid structure, which combines internal leadership with external execution capacity, is expected to support more predictable progress toward key milestones.
