And no, this looks more comparable to replacing those $15/hour fast-food jobs with bots than so-called autonomous cars. Why hire human surgeons if the bots could do it “a bit better”, eh? The State would not disagree.
Putting my engineer hat on, what if this technology could be put to use in combat hospitals? Use the surgeons to do the intricate work, then have the machines do the final closing of the skin, allowing the surgeons to move more quickly to the next critical patient?
Lookout minimum wagers...if a robot can perform surgery, it can certainly serve a hamburgers!
We lost the patient. Computer froze. Call IT, STAT!!!!
Gives a whole new meaning to the Blue Screen of Death if the bot locks up.
What is it about stitching that doctors don’t like? They usually do staples to close,which looks lazy to me.
