  • nice clip .. i like it .. thanks for sahring

  • @phdee2b

    To expand on your point, the only robotic-laparoscopic operating system is the Da Vinci which is a US product. As far as I know there aren't any commercial robots in Japan which do the same thing (but maybe something came along recently)

  • @phdee2b that makes sense.  thanks for the info.

  • @defect530

    Carnegie Melon, in Pittsburgh, publishes more robotics papers per year than the nation of Japan.

    We're not really behind, we just seem incapable of manufacturing them profitably.

    Actually, long distance tele-robotics is more of a curiosity, than a practical solution. Short distance tele-robotics is the practical application. There are many advantages for inserting a robot between the doctor and patient, but here are 3:

    1. Size (robot manipulators can be tiny compared to the human hand, and can get in places that the human hand cannot)

    2. Because of 1, surgery can be more minimally invasive

    3. The surgeon does not need to enter the sterile field

  • Actually, this would be used for remote surgery. Someone in France for example could perform emergency surgery on someone in the States.

    As the computers learn, eventually a surgeon would become irrelevant since the machine could anticipate its own course of action.

  • It looks cute, but I think using hands beats it

  • Seriously, they're advancing sooo fast.

  • that looks very complicated. beautiful piece of machinery. the asians are going to own the world with their robotic technology +.

  • Lovely.
