A surgical robot named SRT-H successfully performed a realistic portion of a gallbladder removal without human assistance, adapting to unexpected situations and learning from feedback.
Led by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, this achievement signals a significant advancement in the realm of autonomous surgery.
The robot, utilizing machine learning similar to ChatGPT, learned complex surgical tasks by watching videos and responding to spoken commands.
Published in Science Robotics, the study demonstrates that fully autonomous surgery is becoming a tangible reality, with plans to expand SRT-H's capabilities for broader surgical applications.
