AI trained robots ‘to undertake an operation of people in the coming years’ after success with pigs

Robots that have been taught via AI can perform surgery of people in the following decade after they have successfully performed pigs.

A robot arm has been able to remove the gallbladder from a pig with tools that can cut, cut and grab soft tissue.

The machine that was powered by AI – and similar technology has as a chatgpt – had shown videos of people who performed similar operations.

Then it did the same procedure on dead boar at John Hopkins University, with a success rate of 100 percent that lasted a little more than five minutes.

Experts believe that this could mean that robots can replicate the skills of the best surgeons of humanity, so that the way is cleared for a health care revolution.

The machines were slightly slower than human doctors, but their movements were less jerky and they could make shorter processes between tasks, the American researchers thought.

Errors were corrected on the way and various tools were asked for different anatomical differences, the scientists wrote in their paper for Science Robotics.

They said that their discovery was ‘a milestone for the clinical deployment of autonomous surgical systems’.

In just 17 steps, the machines were able to cut the gallbladder out of the liver, apply six clips in a specific order and remove the organ.

“We were able to perform a surgical procedure with a very high level of autonomy,” said the university professor of mechanical engineering at Johns Hopkins.

Axel Krieger said: ‘In earlier work we were able to perform some surgical tasks, such as adhesion. What we have done here is really a complete procedure.

“So I think it’s a very big milestone that such a difficult surgery for soft tissue is possible to do autonomously.”

The Royal College of Surgeons called the breakthrough ‘an exciting development that shows great promise’.

Although a leading British expert in the field of robot surgery said they were ‘impressive’ and ‘new’ results, and added that it ‘brings us further into the world of autonomy’.

John McGrath said that the current robot operations available on the NHS, about 70,000 of them have performed every year, are all human LED, except for bone cutting on hips and knees that is semi-autonomous.

But there are already plans to introduce more robot surgery to the British health care system.

Experts believe that this breakthrough could mean

Heath Secretary Wes Streeting said last month that raising robot surgery was crucial for reforming the NHS and shortening waiting times in the next 10 years.

The NHS has also said that nine of the 10 key hole surgery will be done in the following decade by a robot, a huge increase in the current one in the five.

Dr. McGrath, the chairman of the Robotics Steering Committee of NHS England, is of the opinion that surgeons will ultimately be able to oversee various operations at the same time and to perform simple procedures such as Gall Laad Removals or Hernia Operations faster.

The robots can also be more precise and cause less damage to the surrounding body tissue, he said.

However, there are still a few steps before this point when the robots can respond differently to a breathing body than the carcass of a dead animal.

Other surgical logistics such as running blood, liquid on the camera, injuries or smoke due to cauterization must also be considered.

“The next step must hold a careful exploration of the nuances within this quickly evolving field to assess how these findings can be translated safely and effectively into a human pilot,” said the leadership of robot surgery at Royal College of England, Nuha Yassin, said.

“Only then can this approach move to a sustainable model for the future.”
