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.

You underestimate the demands on a surgeon’s body to perform surgery. This makes it much less prone to tiredness, mistakes, or even if the surgeon is physically incapable in any way of continuing life saving surgery

That's absolutely not the point. I was criticizing the journalism, not technology. 🙄

They should have specified "without physical human help."

I have seen enough ER to know that operating theatre staff work as a team. So I consider this would be a good thing.
