Robots superior in three ways

The new robots can both work more accurately and carry out surgery much faster than humans. Major analytical intelligence also makes the robots better at diagnoses.

1 Perfect fine motor skills

A flexible robotic arm can reach the point of surgery without cutting in other places, and a computerized drill can make an extremely accurate hole in a bone for an implant.

2 ANALYSIS FINDS EVIDENCE OF BREAST CANCER

New AI software can analyse an X-ray of a woman’s breast and predict her risk of breast cancer with an accuracy of 99 %. The software compares the patient’s mammography to a database including millions of mammographies, determining the risk of cancer 30 times faster than a doctor.

3 SUPER VISION RECREATES CROP OF HAIR

A sharp-sighted robot can carry out hair transplants quickly and accurately. On a display, the surgeon creates a 3D model with pictures of the patient before and after the transplant, determining the location of the new hair. An artificial intelligence algorithm analyses individual hairs 60 times/second, finding suitable donor hairs. The latter are accurately placed on the head.

The robotic surgery snake includes a camera and two tubes with surgery instruments.

The orthopaedic robot makes more accurate cuts than surgeons.
