Robot-assisted surgery has been used in ORs for many years. It enables surgeons to perform surgical procedures with greater precision, faster and less invasive. The operating robot is now a fixture in almost all hospitals and clinics. But what would it be like if a surgical robot could perform operations completely autonomously, without “help” from a human surgeon? That is what scientists from two American universities have successfully researched. They recently presented the results at a robotics congress in Munich.

The researchers from Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University showed there that they have succeeded in training robots using videos to perform surgical tasks with the precision of human doctors. A technological breakthrough that the researchers say could help solve...
