For the first time in history, a surgical robot carried out a full operation independently in key stages without the surgeon’s participation. The system, developed by specialists at Johns Hopkins University, uses two layers of AI: one makes decisions, while the other carries them out with high precision.
The robot was trained on a large volume of recordings of real procedures, learning both standard actions and possible non-routine situations.
The results are impressive: the robot handled all tasks involved in removing a gallbladder from a pig, adapting even in complex conditions. Although a human is still needed for supporting operations, the main process was performed by the robot itself.
This achievement is a step toward technologies that can help doctors in everyday practice, especially where resources are limited—without losing quality and reliability.
