Surgical Revolution: Robots Learning from the Best!

In this episode of "AI & Beyond," we explore a groundbreaking development in robotic surgery from researchers at Johns Hopkins University. They've created a new surgical robot trained through imitation learning, allowing it to watch videos of experienced surgeons and replicate their skills with remarkable precision. This innovative approach, utilizing a machine learning architecture similar to ChatGPT, eliminates the need for tedious manual programming of surgical movements. As the team works toward training the robot for complete surgical procedures, we discuss how this advancement could lead to greater autonomy in surgery and a significant reduction in medical errors.
