IndiaA team of engineers and surgeons at the University of California San Diego has demonstrated that teleoperated humanoid robots can successfully perform live minimally invasive surgery during preclinical trials. This marks the first time humanoid robots have completed such procedures on living subjects, according to a study published in Nature. The project, named 'Surgie,' uses general-purpose humanoid robots equipped with standard laparoscopic tools, allowing remote human control to perform delicate surgical procedures. Two gallbladder removal surgeries were conducted on large non-primate mammals, with one involving a human-robot team and another using two teleoperated robots working together. The study highlights the potential of humanoid robots to revolutionize surgical environments by offering flexibility and precision comparable to traditional robotic systems.
