A robot, trained for the first time by watching videos of seasoned surgeons, executed the same surgical procedures as skillfully as the human doctors. The successful use of imitation learning to train ...

It takes years of intense study and a steady hand for humans to perform surgery, but robots might have an easier time picking it up with today's AI technology. Researchers at Johns Hopkins ...

"It's really magical to have this model and all we do is feed it camera input and it can predict the robotic movements needed for surgery," said senior author Axel Krieger. "We believe this marks ...

NYU Langone performs the world’s first fully robotic double lung transplant, marking a breakthrough in minimally invasive ...

For the first time, a robot has learned to perform surgery by watching videos of skilled surgeons, utilizing a technique called imitation learning. This development eliminates the need for ...

Advances in artificial intelligence are bringing the possibility of autonomous robotic surgery closer every day, according to a panel of Johns Hopkins University robotics experts. In a recent virtual ...

Instead of waiting years for robots to learn new surgery strategies, Krieger believes the new learning model will allow da Vinci Systems to perfect procedures “in a couple days.” Although the ...

A team has developed a plastic surgical field expansion plate that can help surgeons during robot-assisted heart surgery. Robot-assisted heart surgery usually requires an assistant at the ...

Robot-assisted heart surgery usually requires an assistant at the operating table to help the surgeon insert the robot arm through a small incision. The assistant has to constantly make sure the ...

Not all hernias require surgery, but if they become painful or interfere with someone’s quality of life, surgery is recommended. A newer, minimally invasive technique is robotic hernia repair, where a ...
