Point Robotics Secures Taiwan TFDA Approval for the “Kinguide Agile Robotic Arm Surgical Stereotactic System,” Adding a Key Module to Its Navigation Platform

Point Robotics MedTech Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Point Robotics”), a company dedicated to the development of minimally invasive spinal surgical robots, announced today (10th) that its “Kinguide Agile Robotic Arm Surgical Stereotactic System” (formerly known as the “Point Robotics Navigation System”) obtained official TFDA approval in June 2025. As an extension module of its “Kinguide Agile Hybrid Navigation System,” the robotic arm strengthens Point Robotics’ comprehensive solutions in minimally invasive spinal surgery. At the North American Spine Society (NASS) Asia Pacific Annual Meeting held in Taipei this July, clinical surgeons demonstrated the system’s stable intraoperative guidance performance and clinical value through live surgeries.

Since its market launch, the Kinguide Agile Hybrid Navigation System has accumulated over 500 clinical cases across more than 30 medical institutions, with six hospitals entering into formal commercial partnerships. Neurosurgeon Dr. Wen-Cheng Lo stated:“3D navigated minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery is widely used for conditions such as spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis, enabling surgeons to perform precise pedicle screw placement. For complex cases—such as those involving obesity, osteoporosis, tumors, or revision surgeries—navigation enhances accuracy, helps avoid critical structures, reduces risk, and further improves surgical safety.”The newly certified robotic arm module features high-precision real-time positioning and six degrees of freedom operation, which enhances surgical accuracy and stability while also reducing radiation exposure and the workload for medical staff.

In addition to current modules, Point Robotics is actively developing the next stage of innovations. These include an integrated “one-stop navigated screw insertion” solution—combining customized screws with dedicated instruments—to shorten the screw placement process by half and streamline surgical workflows. Another advancement is the “decompression drilling” technology, which digitizes tactile feedback to simulate the realistic sensation of bone drilling. This allows surgeons to retain intuitive control during delicate bone removal procedures, achieving micron-level precision while effectively avoiding nerves and surrounding tissues. Both innovations will further expand the clinical applications of the platform, accelerating the realization of a modular, scalable, and comprehensive spinal surgery system.

Chairman Hsu-Cheng Chuang remarked:“After completing product validation in Taiwan and establishing a solid foundation of medical partnerships, we have initiated clinical adoption and distribution expansion in North America and India. Through technology alliances and application integration, we are building an international platform presence. At the same time, by collaborating with bone material suppliers and advanced operating room equipment manufacturers, we aim to deliver integrated solutions that maximize clinical value and market competitiveness.”

Looking ahead, Point Robotics will continue advancing the development of its spinal surgery robotic platform, focusing on enhancing multi-procedure capabilities. The company is committed to becoming the clinical choice for high-efficiency surgical solutions, while demonstrating the growth potential of intelligent medical technologies in the global market.
