CMR Surgical, based in Cambridge, U.K., is collaborating with Nvidia on the Physical AI healthcare robotics initiative, contributing nearly 500 hours of anonymized surgical data from its Versius system for the Open-H dataset. This dataset combines real-world surgical video and telemetry.

The initiative also supports the development of Isaac GRooT-H, an open vision-language action model. Nvidia's physical AI infrastructure allows for the training of robotic systems in simulated environments to ensure safety before deployment. CMR's Versius is the first multi-port robotic-assisted surgical device cleared by the FDA's de novo process.
