A talk about surgical robots is also a talk about surgery.

It was actually robotic surgery.

Catherine Mohr Surgery's past, present and robotic future

And so it's perfect for something like that.

And this is called NOTES, and this is coming basically scarless surgery, as mediated by robotic surgery.

I'm an organic food eating, carbon footprint minimizing, robotic surgery geek.

Motion scaling which allows the robotic arms to mimic the exact movements of the surgeon s hands, but on a much smaller scale will enable surgeons to manipulate tissue that is too small for the naked eye to detect. With the development of smaller microsurgical tools and high performance cameras and monitors, operating at the cellular level will be possible.

But if you need to reach more places than just one, you need to move the robot.

Okay. And actually of those hands, if you don't include Roomba how many of you have a robot at home?

The merging of human surgical experience with machines and computerized technologies is driving neurosurgical advancement, with robotic surgery serving as an important model of the benefits of the human machine interface. Add virtual reality to the equation and the future of neurosurgery takes shape a future in which the discipline is elevated to new levels of excellence.

And we're entering an era of really, truly scarless surgery called NOTES, where the robotic endoscope can come out the stomach and pull out that gallbladder all in a scarless way and robotically.

But you need to talk about surgical instruments and the evolution of surgical technology together.

What robots lack is the human brain s executive capacity. Given that comprehending and reacting appropriately to the immense number of variables that can arise during surgery would require enormous computing power, surgical robots aim to integrate human experience and decision making ability with mechanized accuracy.

Laparoscopy is doing this kind of surgery surgery with long instruments through small incisions.

So just by a show of hands, how many of you all have a robot at home?

Intuitive Surgical s da Vinci robot reduces the need for surgical assistants in operating rooms and the Engkey robot teaching English in South Korea may gradually fill the 30,000 teaching positions that Westerners there currently occupy. Increasingly sophisticated algorithms are replacing currency traders, paralegals, and even news reporters.

Surgeon and inventor Catherine Mohr tours the history of surgery , then demos some of the newest tools for surgery through tiny incisions, performed using nimble robot hands. Fascinating but not for the squeamish.

And since this was introduced in 1999, a lot of these robots have been out and being used for surgical procedures like a prostatectomy, which is a prostate deep in the pelvis, and it requires fine dissection and delicate manipulation to be able to get a good surgical outcome.

And we will be bringing robotics of all sorts into the ocean.

Building on simulation technology, virtual reality will allow surgeons to rehearse procedures, including with surgical robots, in a digital environment. The ability to map out complex cases and practice rare procedures before performing them on a patient will undoubtedly lead to better surgical performance and improved medical outcomes.

So imagine this What about a robot accessory for your cellphone?

My phone charger is broken.

My smartphone charger fell.

But organs don't wait, and I went into surgery before I could say goodbye.

So, the drill was mounted on this robotic arm.

The most recent approaches in the fields of tele epidemiology, tele consultation, tele robotics, tele surgery and health education in remote areas were presented and discussed.

And we see new refined tools coming out.

Who gets surgery and who doesn't?

But let me show you cutting edge robotics.

And he brings the watch center, into the robot's field of vision, points to it, gives it a motion cue, and the robot looks at the watch quite successfully.

Now, what you put between those instruments and those hands, is a large, fairly complicated robot.

That's what the surgeon is saying in the operating room when the patient's on the table.

So in other words, what we have here is a machine that can enable surgery and save lives because it was designed for its environment, just like the first machine I showed you.

He put his hand on the throttle.

Our robot belongs to a family of robots called Ballbots.

And this machine is able to enable surgery and save lives because it was designed with this environment in mind.

No doubt, I was informed, the consent had been obtained.

Technologies like MRI can help in surgical planning, resection control, and quality assurance. Magnetic resonance compatible robotics allow for real time imaging, providing information about anatomical structures and changes in the brain relative to surgical pathology while operating, thereby minimizing risk.

In fact, in the last 10 years, the number of patients requiring an organ has doubled, while in the same time, the actual number of transplants has barely gone up.

Operations involving the transplantation of human organs are a tremendously important development in the safeguarding of human life.

Alarmed at the potential growth of exploitation by criminal groups of human needs, poverty and destitution for the purpose of trafficking in human organs, using violence, coercion and kidnapping, especially kidnapping of children, with a view to exploiting them by means of organ transplant operations,

Robotic Air Powered Hand with Elastic Ligaments.

There are a lot of really neat, very good robotic hands out there in the market.
