As well as developing instrumentation and mechatronics in-house, Medtronic has collaborated with third parties. In May 2020, Medtronic signed a collaborative development agreement with the then-financially troubled Titan Medical, a Canadian company working on its own single port surgical robot.

The deal, which has since prompted further purchase agreements, could be worth up a total of $41m, depending on when developmental milestones are met. (Also see "Single Port, Single Vision: Titan’s New Exec Speaks On Reshaping Robotics Strategy" - Medtech Insight, 8 September, 2022.)
