Channel Robotics has raised $2.5 million in Seed+ funding, bringing its total funding to $4.6 million, to advance a handheld AI-enabled endoscopic robotic platform designed to work through existing flexible endoscopes.
Unlike large robotic systems that require significant capital investment, the company’s approach aims to deliver robotic-level dexterity in a handheld format that could be adopted across hospitals, ASCs, and community GI practices. The funding will support product development, manufacturing, and regulatory activities, with an FDA submission targeted for 2027, reflecting continued investment in next-generation robotic technologies for minimally invasive GI procedures.
