In a First, Surgical Robots Learned Tasks By Watching Videos (msn.com)

(Monday December 30, 2024 @11:40AM (msmash) from the pushing-the-limits dept.)


Speaking [1]of robots , Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University researchers say they [2]trained robots to perform surgical tasks autonomously using video learning , marking a breakthrough in robotic surgery capabilities.

The robots successfully manipulated needles, tied knots, and sutured wounds independently, demonstrating ability to correct errors like dropped needles without human input. Testing has advanced to full surgeries on animal cadavers.

Researchers aim to address a projected U.S. surgeon shortage of 10,000-20,000 by 2036. The technology builds on decades of robot-assisted surgery, which recorded 876,000 procedures in 2020.

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow--
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller, like an india-rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.
