A surgical robot managed to learn medical procedures by watching videos. This technological advance promises to revolutionize practices in the operating room. This is an important step towards more autonomous and precise surgery.
L’artificial intelligence continue transform the medical sectorparticularly with robots capable of carrying out complex tasks autonomy. For example, this summer, an American company designed a robot capable of performing a complete dental operation, such as placing a crown, in just 15 minutes, compared to 2 hours for a dentist. Similarly, another AI can diagnose diseases by analyzing the color of the tongue, with an impressive 98% accuracy. These advances prove that the technology not only allows gain speedbut also to improve the precision care.
In this dynamic, researchers have taken a further step: they have developed a robot chirurgical Who learn to perform medical procedures watching videos. This approach is reminiscent of that of Google’s RT-2 robots, which, by viewing multiple sequences, are capable of memorizing information and carrying out complex tasks. This surgical robot uses a similar method to reproduce precise gesturesa real leap for autonomous surgery.
The da Vinci surgical robot learns precise surgical procedures by watching videos
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and Stanford used the da Vinci surgical system to develop this revolutionary robot. They made him watch hundreds of videos captured by on-board cameras during real interventions. Using an artificial intelligence model, inspired by language processing technologies like ChatGPT, the latter learned to manipulate needles, lift tissue and perform stitches with precision comparable to that of human surgeons.
Unlike traditional robots, which follow predefined movements, this system adjusts its actions in real time depending on its environment. This not only allows it to improve its accuracy, but also to correct errors minor, like picking up a dropped needle without human assistance. The researchers presented their results at a conference in Munich, saying the robot could revolutionize surgery by reducing the training time needed and making procedures more accessible and effective.
