      Autonomous robot surgeon removes organs with 100% success rate

      We’re a step closer to entering an operating theater without any human life besides ours, following the world’s first surgery performed by a robot responding and learning in real time. Its precision and skill matched that of experienced surgeons.

      Researchers at Johns Hopkins University trained a robot on videos of operations, and then had it conduct a gallbladder removal on its own – with no mechanical help, just voice commands, like a theater team assisting the lead surgeon. Named SRT-H (Surgical Robot Transformer-Hierarchy), the robot absorbed its training and converted it to practice, with the ability to extract the gallbladder time and time again, and adjusting in real-time when needed.

      While this study details SRT-H’s complete gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) across eight different surgeries, it’s worth noting these were performed on a realistic human-like model, but, understandably, not a human. However, the tissues used in the human-like models closely mimicked ours, and the robot breezed through the operation that required 17 tasks to be performed, each lasting minutes. It was able to identify specific ducts and arteries and grab them precisely, strategically place clips and sever parts with scissors.

      Here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

      Awesome! You guys are gonna teach it to put them back in too, right?

      Right?

      The fact that it uses the same architecture as ChatGPT but for surgery is wild. Going from text generation to precision organ removal is such a crazy application of the same underlying tech. Still feels surreal that we’re this close to actual autonomous surgery

      All I can add is that the cables driving the joint articulation would drag biological matter up into the shafts in which they run, but I’m sure they considered that.

      I wonder if they’ll do cadaver training and testing next. This has enormous implications both for healthcare and accountability as well as the cost and availability of healthcare.

      >**Autonomous robot surgeon removes organs with 100% success rate:** world’s first surgery performed by a robot responding and learning in real time. Its precision and skill matched that of experienced surgeons. It conducted a gallbladder removal on its own on a realistic human-like model.

      Is this an error?

      I’m pretty sure that most of people can do it, including most of predator animals.

      I think this should’ve been phrased differently.
