US investors that own warrants should consider selling the warrants so someone in canada can buy them and eventually exercise them. They are not helping the company by holding on to the warrants. I though about buying warrants about 3 months ago but scottrade broker told me that i would not be able to deposit the certificate in to my account her in the us . THERE WAS A DISCUSSING ON THIS BOARD ABOUT THIS WHILE BACK BUT I GUESS LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE MISSED IT AND BOUT WARRANTS ANYWAY. O WELL. Cheers to all titan investors. 11out
SPORT AI that will be the name for the updated version of sport. Artificial intelligence.
Love the videos Dr. Fowler is in talking about robotics and the software that we should find out more about soon. And that Colombia university is still working on making it better and new innovations which I am sure titan will have first look at to license any new technology. Long titan 11out
Adding Moore here. I buy when it's boring
Can we beat isrg. HELL NO. Can we steal piece of isrg's market share. HELL YEA. Have a great weekend everyone. Cheers.
Took a nice position here today. Good luck to all longs. 11out
I did it's too big for everyday use. Imo. But the point is these companies will keep going head to head releasing new devices and new software. And we like it.
If u like apple phone than u Talk bad about samsung. But look what happend when galaxy s4 hit the market. I own one and I would never go back to I phone lol. With the smart people behind titan this is just a beginning to a great company. Patience is the key.
I liked titan when they were working on amadeus but we would always be behind intuitive. With (sport tm )we can go head to head with intuitive. Long titan and tltff. 11 out
Lots of buzz on tltff. Good luck. Might take position. Like their story. 11out
In the event of rs what happens to a warrant strike price. If for example there would 2 for 1 split. Would the strike price double. Tia. The sp would so why not the strike price. 11out
The pps gained more than 400% in less than 4 months. I'll take that gain on all my stocks lol.
Some one that owns warrants and it is in the money should exercise some of them and tell us what was the exact process that took place and time frame for shares to hit their account tia.
Congrats to the ones that held trough the tough times. Not me but I made out good somwhere else. good luck and hope u can time the right time to exit
That's funny that u think that people are haters. Nothing to be jealous about. Surgibot is a medical device not a surgical robot. I compare surgibot to the tool that people use to pick up garbage off the ground if u don't want to bent over to pick it up. Just my opinion. Haters. Lol. Surgibot surgibot surgibot surgibot lol.
The only ( robotic ) thing that comes close with surgibot it's the name that's all. It's not a surgical robot so stop calling it ( surgical robot)
Just a thought but for those that hold warrants and want to flip them when the right time comes they would no be able to do it as fast as u would think. There is a restriction on warrants which means once u exercise the warrant u will have to wait at least couple of months to get certificate from the company and some one here stated that it is almost impossible to deposit pin sheet cert. so talk to ur broker (i was told that in scottrade ) and after u get ur shares there is a restriction on when u can sell them. Not sure how long but u cannot sell them right away. Another thing that is confusing to a lots of people is for example: if there are warrants that expire at the end of this year and everybody that owns warrants decides to exercise them than company have to issue additional(new) shares to cover the warrants and that will lift the number of outstanding shares that we have now. If there are 2 million warrants and strike price is $1.50 then they would get 3 million dollars but would have to issue new shares for those warrants. Please correct me if i am wrong. TIA
Since most of us buy on American exchange titxf and warrants are tied to tmd and u can only get them on Canadian exchange how would u know if u actually get share + warrant cause other people will be selling too . tia. Might be a stupid question but there is a lot of confusion
After this we can look forward to good news.
Thank u CUIN2
I think will find out later. Should be another pr. with details soon
No worries. Long titan. They will rock !!!!!
Just need patience and do not sell cause if some one sells now thinking they can re enter at lower pps might have to pay higher taxes if and ( if ) the company gets bought out in next 12 months . Short term gains are I belive 35% compare to 15% or less if u hold for 1 year and 1 day. As for warrants correct me if I am wrong but when u finally exercise warrants u need to wait couple 3 months to receive cert.from company and I belive there is restriction that u cannot sell right away. There is a waiting period but please correct me if I am wrong. Tia and good luck to all. 11 out
No surprise. They need money . It's all good
How about uplisting to better exchange like nasdaq. Any thoughts. Tia
hey HONEYCOMB77 i have read and understand the license agrement. Just want to point out that in the article i posted there is no mention of titan or dr. fowler and they are still working on what looks like to me is (sport) system . Maybe they are still helping with (sport tm) and maybe its what dr. fowler said about the software that he is exited about (piece from article) Oct. 25, 2013 ................. The researchers also intend to create what they call “virtual fixtures.” These are pre-programmed restrictions on the robot’s actions. For example, a robot might be instructed not to cut in an area where a major blood vessel has been identified. Not only would this prevent the robot from cutting a blood vessel when operating autonomously, but it would also prevent a surgeon from doing so accidently when operating the robot manually.
“We will design the robot to be aware of what it is touching and then use this information to assist the surgeon in carrying out surgical tasks safely,” Simaan said................. I FIND THIS INTERESTING THATS ALL 11out
another thing about pps and early investors. in my opinion the early investors should be the ones that should be rewarded the most. there lots of people here that invested in titan when the amadeus was supposed to hit the market and what? never happened but i think the company did the right thing realized that amadeus is already out there (da vinci) and licensed (irep) sport tm . the people that invested early when pps was low should be rewarded the most ( if they stick around) they took the biggest risk not knowing the future like we do now. i took position in titan in june 2013 but almost pulled trigger year earlier. sorry for speling (typing on my phone ) imo they will start to advertise sport way before they get fda aproval and it will take much less time for hospitals to accept titan. sorry had a drink before posting. cheers to all and good luck to all of titan investors (long titan ) 11out
might not be related to titan but the co-inventor of sport (nabil simann) is mentioned in another article that doesnt say anything about titan and the picture of hand controls looks identical to titans sport hand controls http://news.vanderbilt.edu/2013/10/nri-grant/ Title:

No longer a share holder but recived a phone call from dara. Voted for no rs. Good luck to everyone here. Bought titxf. long hold but huge potential . 11out
Even 10% of isrg would be sweet. imo
Ill repost ur comment a year from now and will have a good laugh. 11out
Stay long and trust ur dd.
Weird trading for isrg
If odd denied does dara have to disclose that or can they stay quiet. Tia
interesting part of a article from may 2013 ............... The IREP’S unique mechanical architecture includes snake-like continuum robots with push-pull actuation, parallel linkages, and passively flexible actuation stems. (((((( It has also been designed as a platform for multi-modal use including energy and drug delivery and suction. This is achieved through the use of tubular access channels within each surgical arm.))))))))))
“In contrast to existing systems, which are too large to be mounted on the surgical bed, this device is so small that it can be easily attached, allowing for quick orientation of the patient during surgery,” says Fowler. “We anticipate that robots in the future can greatly improve the care of surgical patients, and we are very excited about the partnership with Titan. By reducing the invasiveness of surgery, we will improve the outcome of surgery for patients, for surgeons, and for hospitals.”
This research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, through the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, grant #R21EB00777.
AUGUST 6 2013 this article was in the news and in september the other article came out stating the size of orfice will be 25mm just month earlier they stated the its only 15mm maybe there will be 2 sizes for different surgery like throat and ear here is the article maybe u guys already seen it
Team’s tiny robot called medical science ‘breakthrough’
Experimental setup of the IREP, a robotic surgical tool created by engineers and surgeons at Vanderbilt and Columbia.
A miniscule robotic surgical tool created by engineers and surgeons at Vanderbilt University and Columbia University is singled out by Nautilus science magazine with four other remarkable developments as “unlikely breakthroughs” in medical science with potentially widespread applications.
The Nautilus article, released today, is part of a monthly package of articles on a single topic. Each Thursday Nautilus publishes a new chapter on a topic online. Issue 004’s topic is “The Unlikely.”
Under “Lilliputian Surgeons,” the article describes an image guided in-vivo surgical tool developed by Nabil Simaan at Vanderbilt and Peter Allen and Dennis Fowler at Columbia.
The Insertable Robotic Effector Platform (IREP) can enter the body through a single 15 millimeter incision.
The Insertable Robotic Effector Platform (IREP) can enter the body through a single 15 millimeter incision, unfold from its capsule and, following a surgeon’s instructions, move toward a particular organ to execute surgical tasks, such as clamping arteries and tying sutures, author Lina Zeldovich reports.
IREP has gone through several development stages. Zeldovich writes, “First, Columbia University computer scientist Peter Allen devised an insertable camera that tilted, panned, and followed the movements of surgical instruments from inside the abdomen, and projected its vision onto a computer screen.
Simaan
“To test it, surgeon Dennis Fowler performed a number of appendectomies, nephroscopies, and other operations on porcine models. Then, mechanical engineer Nabil Simaan at Vanderbilt University equipped IREP with two snake-like arms built from a series of vertebrae strung together with wires, which can bend and twist the arms in the required directions. Simaan also gave IREP wrists and grippers to manipulate objects.
“IREP was tested using the standard laparoscopic surgery exam setting, which all surgeons must pass to be board-certified. It passed the test, but has not yet been used on humans.
“Fowler says that IREP’s dexterity in maneuvering around tissues and organs can be better for patients than the surgeons’ standard laparoscopic graspers and dissectors. It can also reduce the size and number of incisions in the more invasive surgeries.”

Simaan’s current research interests include synthesis of novel robotic systems for surgery in confined spaces with applications to minimally invasive surgery of the throat, natural orifice surgery, cochlear implant surgery, dexterous bimanual microsurgery, and retinal micro-surgery.
“One of the cores of my research is developing algorithms that will enable intelligent surgical robots to help surgeons adapt surgical plans based on in-vivo information gathered during surgery,” says Simaan, who directs the Advanced Robotics and Mechanisms Applications (ARMA) Laboratory at Vanderbilt.
Prior to joining the engineering school at Vanderbilt in 2010, Simaan was an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia. In 2009 he received a NSF Career Award for young investigators to design new algorithms and robots for medical use.
