WARSAW — Zimmer Biomet has announced plans to acquire a company specializing in robotics that will take its surgical abilities to a new level.

The Warsaw company has reached an agreement with Monogram Technologies of Austin, Texas, to acquire the company for roughly $177 million, according to a news release issued Monday.
