◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building surgical tools, robotics platforms, or computer vision for the OR, you now have a proven buyer with a live use-case. The humanoid that just did the surgery needed sensing, haptic feedback, real-time imaging, and precision control - that's three separate supplier categories that just moved from nice-to-have to table-stakes.
