Autonomous robot surgeon removes organs with 100% success rate | "This advancement moves us from robots that can execute specific surgical tasks to robots that truly understand surgical procedures."
We're a step closer to entering an operating theater without any human life besides ours, following the world's first surgery performed by a robot responding and learning in real time. Its precision and skill matched that of experienced surgeons.
SRT-H is a breakthrough for the field, demonstrating mechanical precision but also the more challenging ability to adapt and understand in real time, adjusting when needed for success rather than following a linear path or script. "This work represents a major leap from prior efforts because it tackles some of the fundamental barriers to deploying autonomous surgical robots in the real world," said lead author Ji Woong "Brian" Kim, a former postdoctoral researcher at Johns Hopkins who's now with Stanford University. "Just as surgical residents often master different parts of an operation at different rates, this work illustrates the promise of developing autonomous robotic systems in a similarly modular and progressive manner," said study co-author Jeff Jopling, a surgeon at Johns Hopkins.
