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.
