A recent milestone in the health industry involved a surgical robot successfully operating on a pig's gallbladder using vocal instructions from a senior surgeon.
The robot was trained on videos of the procedure before performing the surgery and was able to adapt to emergency situations and changes during the operation.
The communication-based upgrade allows the robot to imitate learning processes similar to how human surgeons are trained, making it easier for hospitals to train and deploy such robots.
The successful use of AI in training the robots through video and voice instructions has the potential to expand access to healthcare by allowing robots to assist in surgeries with high accuracy.
