ORLANDO, Fla., May 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AVRA Medical Robotics, Inc. (“AVRA” or “the Company”) (OTC: AVMR) today issued the following update:

Despite the difficulties presented by the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company continues to make progress on developing its proprietary Medical Robotic System.

As AVRA CEO Barry Cohen explains, “The latest test results of AVRA’s Imaging and Detection System software designed to Detect, Identify, Diagnose, and Deliver an autonomous robotic surgical procedure continue to reinforce our confidence in our ability to develop an autonomous Medical Robotic System which should enable surgeons to sharply increase their productivity while also improving patient outcomes in the operating room of the future.”

AVRA continues to work with Infinite Mind, LLC (“IM”) under the Joint Research Agreement signed in September 2019. As the results look increasingly promising, AVRA is now in discussions to acquire an interest in IM, which is dedicated to the development of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and Computer Science Software across a wide range of surgical robotics systems, medical treatments, and a variety of commercial and industrial applications in manufacturing, transportation, logistics and training.

The senior teams of AVRA and IM bring together decades of experience in medical robotics, modeling, simulation, marine, aviation, and engineering, a combination of skills which should accelerate the achievement of AVRA‘s mission to solve the shortage of surgeons to meet the increasing demands of the world’s aging population.

Because of the sophistication and versatility of the Company’s software and artificial intelligence, the two companies have also been exploring the adaptation of AVRA’s Image Detection capability in its Medical Robotic System for use in the remote collection of various health data including imagery, wavelengths of the surface and subsurface of skin characteristics, and other health information to measure, among other things, people’s temperatures and any recent exposure to microorganisms.

The Company has already been able to leverage its prior AI efforts on Melanoma image characteristics conducted with IBM Research in Australia to make further progress in developing these exciting additional capabilities.
