A team of Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University researchers has reported a significant advance, training robots with videos to perform surgical tasks with the skill of human doctors.
The trained robots learned to manipulate needles, tie knots and suture wounds on their own, correcting their own slip-ups without being told, such as picking up a dropped needle.
A new generation of more autonomous robots holds the potential to help address a serious shortage of surgeons in the United States, according to researchers.
While some studies have shown that robotic surgery can be more expensive without significantly better outcomes than traditional surgery, improvements in surgeon experience are noted.
