Intuitive Surgical, an American biotechnology company, introduced DaVinci surgical robots in the late 1990s, and they became ...

The robot successfully removed eight gallbladders from eight different pig cadavers, without any instruction or intervention from humans.

Associate Professor Caleb Rucker and a team from the University of Tennessee are part of a landmark, multi-institution surgical robot project that received up to $12 million in funding from the ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have had a surgical robot remove a gall bladder from a dead pig largely autonomously. The robot had previously learned the procedure from videos. During the ...

Robots have been found in the operating suite since the 1980s for tasks such as holding a patient’s limbs in place, and later for laparoscopic surgery, in which surgeons can use remote ...

Intuitive Surgical is showing off the remote capability of its robots, with a transatlantic demonstration hosted by the ...

A robot designed by researchers at Johns Hopkins University has performed incredibly intricate surgery on a pig—without human assistance. And it may just be the future of laparoscopic surgery.

One of the standout features tested was four-arm robotic surgery, where three instruments and a camera are used simultaneously. This approach, not possible with most current multi-port systems ...

For the first time worldwide, at the University of Gothenburg, a child has been born following a uterus transplantation achieved solely by robot-assisted surgery on both donor and recipient. The ...

Earth-bound surgeons remotely controlled a small robot aboard the International Space Station over the weekend, conducting the first-ever such surgery in orbit—albeit on rubber bands.

The robot offers several features that, theoretically at least, improve on hand-driven surgery. For example, it can transform a large motion by the operator into a small motion at the instrument tip.
