Medtronic Hugo RAS

Our Verdict: A compelling modular alternative to the da Vinci. Lower total cost of ownership with strong Medtronic ecosystem support.

The Medtronic Hugo RAS (Robot-Assisted Surgery) system takes a modular approach to surgical robotics. Unlike integrated systems, Hugo uses independent arm carts that can be positioned flexibly around the patient, adapting to different surgical approaches and operating room layouts.

Hugo’s open architecture is designed to integrate with existing hospital infrastructure and third-party instruments, reducing vendor lock-in. Combined with Medtronic’s Touch Surgery Enterprise platform for surgical video management and AI analytics, it offers a comprehensive digital surgery ecosystem at a lower total cost of ownership than competing platforms.
