microsurgery robot stitches up a corn kernel Showing millimeter-level precision

LTF be like...

one day we're gonna think its crazy that humans used to do these operations by hand

🚨UPDATE: This corn kernel is going to make a full recovery. Robot Doctors say 1-2 months of rehab and this corn will back out there. This is great news.

This surgical assistance robot was developed by #Sony.

Do you realize how many 100 hr+ per week hard working surgeons in training are having panic attacks right now? According to Elon, humanoid robots will soon outperform the best surgeons...at scale! When asked if it was now pointless to go to medical school, he said "Yes".

Listen up. #Sony is a Japanese company.

I hope the corn is ok

Surgical robots are not autonomous. They are valuable extensions of the surgeons own hands, who controls the surgical arms from a console. Most importantly, hand tremor is eliminated, surgeon fatigue is reduced, and precision is also increased, but the surgeon is still in control

Wow. I don’t think there are many surgeons that could do this.

What if the automatic software upgrade happens and it reboots in the middle ?

Imagine this level of accuracy applied to life-saving surgery. We're just scratching the surface.

This is next-level insane precision 😱🤖 Fun fact: These microsurgery robots can stitch at sub-millimeter accuracy (down to 0.1 mm or less)-they're already used in eye, brain, and vascular surgeries where human hands shake too much!

Bro… a robot just stitched a corn kernel like it’s open-heart surgery 😳🌽 Millimeter-level precision? That’s not engineering, that’s wizardry with a scalpel ✨🤯

Two engineers have taken a major step toward robots that not only move like humans but also heal like them.

@grok is this real?

This is what robots and AI should be used for, not for doing laundry or being baristas💪🏼

It’s impressive, but that corn cobb‘s modeling career will never be the same

Honey I Shrunk Doc Oc!

Surgical robots will erase human error in the OR

Has no one asked how that corn got injured? Was it spousal abuse? Did it legitimately fall down the stairs as it stated? I’m glad it was helped but, we need an investigation into this corn’s spouse.

It's real - see the article posted on the Sony site. No, it doesn't replace the surgeon, it's a remote robotic manipulator that scales down the surgeon's movements: "The robot system mainly consists of a tabletop console operated by the surgeon and a robot performing procedures on the patient. The movements of the surgeon’s hands on the console are replicated at a reduced scale of about 1/2 to 1/10 at the tip of the robot arm’s surgical instrument." Regarding no one needing to go to med school any more -- that's Elon Musk B.S. Not going to happen. Would YOU trust your innards to an AI surgeon operating without a human surgeon's oversight and control?

That’s a human remote operated “robot” a real autonomous AI robot real Robot would be way way faster and precise, - you’ve seen nothing yet…

AMAZING! And yet here I am just picturing all the places MRSA bacteria can hide on that thing…

Surgery is much more than just stitches

Wow

Need one of these to roll my Js …

Excellent. It’s harder when the subject is bleeding, but this is very impressive!

I’ve had this surgery done on me. Using the Da Vinci machine. It’s still a surgeon operating it.

위험하고 어려운 수술은 로봇수술로 대체될날도 얼마 안남았군요..🤔

Davinchi robot?

Science girl- you are somethin else!!!!! I elect you into the Babe's Club of X!!!!

This is controlled by humans you fucking idiots

They did surgery on the cob
