| After Sunday’s project with NASA, Dr. Anvari’s team will focus on a new, even more mind-bending phase: “semi-autonomous” robots that are programmed to do surgical procedures on their own, without a physician directly controlling their movements. |
Apparently there is a physician, Dr. Mehran Anvari, in Canada who according to the National Post is working on ways to program surgical robots to perform surgery. The article did not say which surgical robot he was using.
His main success so far is in telesurgery, an area that I am excited about. I am looking forward to the day when I can perform surgery on patients in the other parts of the country and world.
