Da Vinci surgical robot peeling a grape at Southmead Hospital event

[Xdoggydog297x]

@greiteneis, egad! That's it! It was right in front of our faces! Energy crisis solved!

[thickstunalex]

My uncle has prostate cancer and the surgery will use this Da Vinci machine. Normally the surgery is very invasive, involving a long incision to the abdomen. Normal doctors tools can also cause nerve damage leading to a longer recovery from the surgery with a whole host of side effects. This machine only make 4 or 5 1mm incisions and greatly improves the success of the surgery along with post-recovery. He is very fortunate that we have such technology today. As for some of the comments on this

[greiteneis]

Great now our future Robotic Overlords can trounce humanity at Jeopardy, beat our grandmasters at chess, and peel our skin. Somewhere in the world there's an overzealous scientist engineering a robot whose sole source of power is human misery.

[grimresponse25]

These were the robots peeling off Anakin Skywalkers charred skin at the end of Revenge of The Sith!!!

[Xepher03]

That grape now owes the hospital 2,000 bucks

[s0pzn0s]

Ow My Balls!

[law684]

Must take him forever to eat lunch.

[klasmenos]

On the quest to find atr3v1d021

[deathcar]

Little did you know the guy on the right was actually playing Battle Zone and a computer was actually doing the surgery!

[Hyberpsycrow]

Could this be the new "dance dance" mashines in arcades ? :D

[sneglebassen]

0:51 stabbed in the brain...

[ikGamer]

I think there's a cheaper way for peeling a grape!

[kull218]

fap fap fap

[zaxceXXX]

Money well spent.

[Moronicsmurf]

.... to much.. free time...

[lukejtmulder]

@Moronicsmurf This is just a training exercise to become acquainted with the controls before he preforms surgery on something biological.

[FREENAMEFTW]

Good now get the fuck back in the kitchen

[Gizmodus]

The bald dude failed at grape peeling and has to sit in the shame closet with his back against his robot master.

[JacksInn]

"I never asked for this."

....

[TheKenef]

hope the grape recovered well : )

[noobenstein]

I prefer my grapes unpeeled, thanks ;D

[KlarLynn]

I think this is wonderful. The daVinci does only what the surgeon is capable of doing. Great for those old doctors who have hand trimmer for the system compencates for them. I have seen this system in action in person and it is so Amazing!!

[mymindsiinc]

the most expensive way to eat fruit.

[Disboipeter]

soooooo, is this how they take the skin off the grape in those caned fruits x]

[utubesqueeze]

This tool must feel a bit strange for surgeons.

I presume its used so as to make it easier to have fine-grained control. But in a sense they must feel like they are "cheating" whenever they use it because they may have access it sometimes but all other times they have to do ops by hand so not improving their skill.

I guess that makes it a horrible thing to give to learning surgeons but good for advanced ones who don't have to worry about picking up bad habits.

[elcanful]

Why the fuck are yall talking about Jesus Christ, its a fucking robot peeling a grape!!!

[fluorescentcentipede]

1 person lost his grape peeling job cause of the robot..

[Nousernamelikethis]

It reminds me of the Auto-Doc from the Fallout series. That's the future there people!

[cprtn]

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. He promised that He will return, but not in 2012. Seek JESUS CHRIST while He may be found.

[madman3891]

@cprtn Well first you assume that someone called jesus christ existed...second you assume that someone called jesus christ ever said anything...and third you assume that your first assumptions were correct and that this person wasn't lying about coming back :P a lot of assumptions...so when you find this magical character how about you just post it on youtube lol

[MythOfEchelon]

@madman3891 Respect. It goes a long way.

[madman3891]

@MythOfEchelon respect is earned not given freely

[MythOfEchelon]

@madman3891 You won't get very far in life with that attitude. Try getting a job by telling your boss that he needs to earn your respect first.

[madman3891]

@MythOfEchelon My boss and i have a neutral relationship i neither disrespect him or respect him... i do my job he does his and we're both happy :) and my comment towards cprtn has nothing to do with respect he posed a logical fallacy and i merely brought out to his attention what he had committed :P

[c1cr]

grape dislike :D

[EBkira]

I never asked for this.

[wintercs]

HOLY SHIT IT'S AN AUTODOC

[TheEthanAndCarlShow]

even with this we have the same problem... human error...

[lukejtmulder]

@TheEthanAndCarlShow Software is built into the machine so that any large sudden moments cannot accidentally rip a person open.

[NiKKiBSEXCii]

i have no life.

why am i watching this?

[MrLockerzhacks]

Does this make anyone else's testicles hurt?

[petseatpows]

:40 is where it starts getting intresting

[atr3v1d021]

Stupid ass mother fuckers this fucking video is not about peeling a grape u fucking retard it people! Its a fucking demonstration, how stupid are you!?

[dogman1342]

@atr3v1d021 You're calling people stupid yet you spelled almost half your sentence incorrectly

[SomeOne247]

Crazy!

[666crackhure666]

Rofl at all these fucking idiots thinking this robot is used to peel fruits. You are all fucking retarded. This is a technical demonstration but you fucks are too stupid to realise that since you are.. well.. cause you are stupid fucks.

[neocon70]

so what? my 3 yr old can peel grapes.

[pummisher]

@neocon70 So that means a 3-year old can perform prostate surgery?

[tomthorpp]

What's so good about peeling a grape? i can do that -_-

[CrasnCage]

straight out deus ex

[SpooneyGaming]

They wasted money on a hightech robot to peel a grape which it takes like 5 mins when we could just peel it and take 1min they could of spent the money on a charity what's going to be next a tomatoe peeler

[DementedPingu]

@SpooneyGaming It was an open event you fool.

[Th3EvilPanda]

@SpooneyGaming "Since 2009 our Da Vinci robot has carried out more than 450 prostate cancer removals." - Video description. If you actually believe that the robot is only used to peel grapes then you are seriously retarded.

[Dreadfultime]

Just imagine how stupid this is going to look a few years from now when nanobots are touching our grapes

[TheDizzyPotato]

Well thats gonna replace my smoother maker in years to come.

[MusicOfBoy]

this thing will change circumcision's as we know it.

[enziato]

wow that is useful, robot peeling grapes :O ...

[samclimbs]

Wanna be uncomfortable?

Than just pretend that that grape is one of your balls!

Enjoy the rest of the video.

[kaka2354]

What is amazing tech like that doing in a shit hole like southmead?

[nathandfox]

I think for all surgical robot the main problem is there is only visual feedback for the operator, no tactile feedback~

[ALGfunk]

Sand nigger pilot

[speed2o]

with all this technology the can't afford an HD camera?

[1REACH1]

thing is...if u slip with ur hands it may cause damage - may just be minimal......if u slip operating that fucker it will go right through ya

[TheMindfiend]

The link that brought me here said "Da Vinci surgical robot pee..." and I thought "Wow, they really can make robots do anything these days!" :D

[ZyDnaa]

But, can it blend?

[Everydayleigh]

All that technology is amazing! filmed in glorious 480p.... -_- lol

[oli2808]

How can people think that the doctor there is not operating it? ...how do you think bomb disposal robots work?

[Hallyug]

Looks to much like a testicle...cannot watch :/

[szezone]

Dr. X is that you?

[Hairboy01]

jesus christ imagine lying in surgery with that all pointing at your crotch

[oud315]

just think, in as little as 10 years that could be your testicle <3

[nicman2011]

i need one in my kitchen running a software bot that makes me food.

[iamsupercan]

That looks cancerous.

[DarkApostleMatt]

looks like something from a science-fiction movie

[11past2]

That's fucking creepy.

[Saebeck32]

To quote Bill Nye: Science rules.

[bangurdead102]

I don't like the idea of my nuts getting stabbed by a guy with poor depth perception with the robot : /

[cyanidesan]

before this robot the operator had to put his face inside the guy prostate instead of the machine camera

[EnveeH2]

SCIENCE

[slipperywhenwet5]

They said this would happen in that 2057 miniseries.

Hmmm....

[Cwill1277]

The surgeon at the end of the operation - "Pwned"

[Reddebt]

This thing is so fucking metal.

[OneTrueEdge]

@Reddebt Actually it's mostly polymer.

[fadamakis]

this is creepy

[ColeFried81]

Holy shit. When are these things going to have brains and destroy humans? 50 years? 100 years from now? Crazy cool but potentially scary, too.

[machinmanidol2]

this machine is like from an horror movie... AWESOME !!! ^^

[DevilmanAltair]

Awesome !

[funkyskunk2]

should of titled it peeling testicle

[jedoran87]

I bet the guy operating that is AMAZING at Super Monkey Ball.

[bikramgill07]

@jedoran87 it is a robot. Nobody operates it. That is the whole point of making a robot. It is completely autonomous.

[TheDarkAngel1704]

@bikramgill07 Are you retarded? The bald chap in the machine is operating it.

[bikramgill07]

@TheDarkAngel1704 then it is not a robot

[jedoran87]

@bikramgill07 Yeah, the guy sitting in the chair with his head in a screen, is clearly operating it. Robots don't have to be autonomous. From Wikipedia - 'A robot is a mechanical intelligent agent which can perform tasks on its own, or with guidance.' With guidance.

[niabwerd]

@jedoran87 when do you have to operate on testicles in super monkey ball?
