Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon (hub.jhu.edu)

A robot trained on videos of surgeries performed a lengthy phase of a gallbladder removal without human help. The robot operated for the first time on a lifelike patient, and during the operation, responded to and learned from voice commands from the team—like a novice surgeon working with a mentor.

The robot performed unflappably across trials and with the expertise of a skilled human surgeon, even during unexpected scenarios typical in real life medical emergencies.

This is one of those cases where an algorithm carefully trained on only relevant data can have value.

Hopefully more people learn that this is the important part.

It becomes nonsense when you just feed it everything and the kitchen sink. A well trained model works.
