Vicarious Surgical Inc. (NYSE: RBOT, RBOT.WS) (the “Company”), a next-generation robotics technology company seeking to improve lives by transforming robotic surgery, announced its full-year 2026 cash burn guidance.

Vicarious Surgical expects full-year 2026 cash burn of approximately $35 million, representing a $10 million improvement from the Company’s recently updated 2025 guidance of $45 million. Cash needs beyond existing cash resources to achieve design freeze on the Vicarious Surgical system are approximately $25 million. The improved guidance reflects a strong continuation of the Company’s operational reset. Key drivers include reductions in headcount and external consulting spend, partially offset by increased use of strategic outsourcing to support critical development milestones.

“Our cost management strategy continues to demonstrate improved discipline as we operate as a leaner organization,” said Stephen From, Chief Executive Officer. “We have made deliberate decisions to reduce internal costs while selectively leveraging outsourcing to remain on track toward achieving design freeze by year-end 2026.”
