Study describes robot operating on gall bladder autonomously, ‘milestone’ in use of AI

Researchers have documented a fully autonomous surgery performed by a robot on gall bladders made of human tissue with 100 per cent accuracy, which they said marked a milestone in deploying these systems in a clinical setting.

In a paper published in the journal ‘Science Robotics‘, the team, led by researchers at Johns Hopkins University in the US, said the robot ‘SRT-H’ was trained on the videos of surgeons operating on dead pigs.

Powered by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that systems such as ChatGPT function on, the ‘Surgical Robot…
