I have been tracking the same delays and timing between Medtronic and Titan. Also find it somewhat interesting that Medtronic was calling its robotic program Hugo, which is somewhat descriptive of Titan, and now the Hugo trademark has been scrapped.
The Zaring job description also described the position, then confidential, as being backed by a MAJOR medical device player, well funded, working for one of the most exciting and anticipated robotic projects.
The MDT announcement on Sept 24th will be huge. Can’t wait!!
