Reply to comment by PsychoEngineer in Humans operating on humans are still better than robots operating on humans...even when a human is operating the robot. by Notreallyonreddityet
I know. Unfortunately that’s what the large scale papers and research are showing that they worsen the results of surgery. At least at this point. One day you’d imagine that’ll change.

Is your end goal to create singular robot that can perform all varieties of surgery? I never understood that to have been the design intent of the Davinci. My assumption was that the development of care using such a robot would eventually provide the invaluable resource of expert surgical care irrespective of you local. Who cares if it takes a specific robot to do each specific surgery? (Being fastidious here) But Fill the room with 100 robots and still all you have to do is save 1 Jeff Bezos, 1 bill gates, 1 Warren Buffett, 1 Elon musk and the it’s a net positive to the gdp.

No, our idea is that there needs to be at lease 2 kinds of robots. One for soft tissue and one for more “dramatic” ortho-type surgery. But confirmation for X-ray guided procedures is a must https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tftObMt18OY
