The procedure, conducted by a team of Johns Hopkins University researchers, demonstrated the power of AI, which allowed the robot to make independent decisions and adapt to unexpected complications on the fly. In other words, the surgical robot acted like a self-driving car that can "navigate any road, in any condition, responding intelligently to whatever it encounters," as Johns Hopkins research lead Axel Krieger told Reuters. The operation could set an important precedent as robotic surgeons become more commonplace in the […]
