Medicaroid Corporation is a Kobe, Japan-based medical robotics company established in 2013 as a joint venture between Kawasaki Heavy Industries and diagnostics maker Sysmex. Its portmanteau name combines "medical" and "android", reflecting a mandate to bring Japanese robotics manufacturing discipline to hospital operating rooms.
The company's flagship hinotori Surgical Robot System became the first domestically developed robotic-assisted surgery platform to win Japanese regulatory approval in 2020. Medicaroid has since expanded across Asia-Pacific and, in July 2026, secured CE-MDR certification, opening the door to launch in Europe, the Middle East and Africa from its German subsidiary in Dusseldorf.
