Exhibit 99.1

Transforming Surgery: Open - like Access, Minimally Invasive Vicarious Surgical This presentation includes “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Vicarious Surgical’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward - looking statements as predictions of future events. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein, including without limitation, expected development timelines, estimated total addressable market, the potential benefits of the Vicarious Surgical System compared to existing alternatives, and potential indications, are forward - looking statements that reflect the current beliefs and expectations of management. These forward - looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward - looking statements. Most of these factors are outside Vicarious Surgical’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the ability to maintain the listing of Vicarious Surgical’s Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange; the approval, commercialization and adoption of Vicarious Surgical’s initial product candidates and the success of its single - port surgical robot, called the Vicarious Surgical System, and any of its future product candidates and service offerings; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the ability of Vicarious Surgical to raise financing in the future; the success, cost and timing of Vicarious Surgical’s product and service development activities; the potential attributes and benefits of Vicarious Surgical’s product candidates and services; Vicarious Surgical’s ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for the Vicarious Surgical System, and any related restrictions and limitations of any approved product; the size and duration of human clinical trials for the Vicarious Surgical System; Vicarious Surgical’s ability to identify, in - license or acquire additional technology; Vicarious Surgical’s ability to maintain its existing license, manufacture, supply and distribution agreements; Vicarious Surgical’s ability to compete with other companies currently marketing or engaged in the development of products and services that Vicarious Surgical is currently marketing or developing; the size and growth potential of the markets for Vicarious Surgical’s product candidates and services, and its ability to serve those markets, either alone or in partnership with others; the pricing of Vicarious Surgical’s product candidates and services and reimbursement for medical procedures conducted using its product candidates and services; the company’s estimates regarding expenses, revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing; Vicarious Surgical’s financial performance; economic downturns, political and market conditions and their potential to adversely affect Vicarious Surgical’s business, financial condition and results of operations; Vicarious Surgical’s intellectual property rights and its ability to protect or enforce those rights, and the impact on its business, results and financial condition if it is unsuccessful in doing so; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in Vicarious Surgical’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Vicarious Surgical cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Vicarious Surgical does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward - looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. All surgical images contained in this presentation are sourced from cadaveric procedures.

DOF=DEGREES OF FREEDOM Vicarious Surgical Minimally Invasive Surgery Small incisions, but limited anatomical access, visualization and reach, especially in the abdomen.

Open Surgery Full anatomical access, but high complications and difficult recovery. Today, Surgeons Choose Between Anatomical Access & Invasiveness Result: Many abdominal surgeries are still performed open, despite the known and agreed upon benefits of MIS. “We eliminate the tradeoff: open - surgery experience through a single incision.”

Vicarious Surgical Legacy Robot Adoption is Heavily Concentrated in Prostatectomy Not By Design, But By Limitation Current Robotics: Prostatectomy: Built as a General - Purpose System Multi - port entry, rigid arms, and limited freedom of motion. One size fits all approach. The Dominant Robotic Procedure >95% adoption rate 1 Confined pelvic anatomy aligns with robot’s strengths: ● Operates well in a small, narrow space ● Straightforward setup & triangulation ● Stable visualization ● Tremor reduction “There is potential upside in procedures that don’t fit existing systems.” 1: BERNSTEIN US ROBOTIC - ASSISTED SURGERY TAM MODEL - 12 MARCH 2021.

Beyond Prostatectomy: Adoption Drops Sharply Vicarious Surgical Vicarious Surgical One Small Incision.

Vicarious Surgical Simplify access, Amplify Performance. “Single - Port docking may streamline setup and improves procedural efficiency compared with traditional multi - port docking.” Current Robotic Systems Multi - Port Docking is Cumbersome: ● Pre - op planning required ● External and internal collisions ● Poor bedside access ● Incision site trauma Single - Port Docking is Efficient: ● No pre - op planning ● Collision free surgery ● Superior bedside access ● Limited incision site trauma Vicarious Surgical Vicarious Surgical Breakthrough in Surgical Access and Maneuverability Open - Like Access & Perspective in Abdominal Procedures Surgeon Empowered Natural motion and full anatomical reach for open - like surgery.

The anterior abdominal wall is a conundrum for “straight”, rigid technology and as a result 66 % of all Ventral Hernias in the U .

Ease of Use Vicarious Surgical Surgeons Validate the Vision of Vicarious Surgical The next frontier of robotic surgery is here and I look forward to the continued development of the innovative Vicarious Surgical robotic system.” – Igor Belyansky, MD It's very exciting, very exciting. I like the fact that you can work backward, and that is a huge improvement for (abdominal surgery) because instead of working straight, you have the ability to articulate the instruments in any configuration. That is a major, major advantage in hernia surgery. The ability to suture so the angles are much better is a leap forward.” – General Surgeon, large AMC* That's a huge innovation compared to what we have right now, which is a very long straight shaft and only wristed instruments. Having those shoulders gives you that ability to separate yourself and still triangulate and not crash into yourself. So that innovation is fantastic.” – Gynecologic Surgeon, Community Hospital *AMC= ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER Vicarious Surgical Trusted by Leading Visionary Investors Visionary investors share our belief: Vicarious Surgical will expand robotic surgery into millions of new procedures.

Backed by the world’s most forward thinking investors. Leading strategic investors validate Vicarious Surgical’s vision of expanding the future of robotic surgery and advancing minimally invasive care.
