He is probably referring to this but it's also been said on conference call and a couple of other articles.

Also some other big hints in here they may or may not be related to our favorite robot

On surgical robotics, Pruden said to expect an "important milestone at the end of the year when we transition from concept development to full product development." At that time, Verb should be ready to share how its surgical robotics system works, looks and feels, he added.

The Verb robotic surgical system is expected to transition into more difficult-to-target areas.

"The sweet spot for really transforming surgery is in areas where it's deep, it's confined its inaccessible like that the thoracic cavity like low anterior resection. These are two areas where the penetration of minimally invasive surgery, has not been as good as the other areas. So this is where we believe that we're the better surgical platform robotics capabilities that we will be able to penetrate," Pruden said.

"We are creating a platform with the potential that we can give every patient access to the outcomes of the best surgeon," he continued. "Our focus will be to help drive complex surgical oncology procedures to minimally invasive approaches and to help improve and standardize the outcomes in challenging procedures such as thoracic lobectomy, gastrectomy and low anterior resection. The unique workflow, advanced imaging, data analytics expanded reach to all four quadrants of the body along with the vast instrumentation has the potential to advance robotic minimally invasive surgery with great benefit for patients."
