Researchers are nearing the possibility of automated surgery on humans, with an AI-trained robot successfully performing gall bladder removals from pigs without human assistance. Conducted by experts at Johns Hopkins University, the robot achieved a 100% success rate in eight operations. Utilizing video footage of surgeries, the robots adapted to anatomical variations, demonstrating capability to correct mistakes and request tools. While slower than human surgeons, the robots executed operations with precision. This technology indicates a major advance toward the application of autonomous surgical systems in clinical settings.
Automated surgery shows potential, evidenced by a study where an AI-trained robot successfully conducted pig gall bladder operations with a 100% success rate, showcasing efficient performance.
The technology operates using computerised neural networks similar to those powering AI tools, demonstrating a significant step towards the prevalence of autonomous surgical systems in clinical practice.
