Surgeons Remotely Control Humanoid Robots in First-Ever Surgery on Live Pigs

In a world-first medical experiment, surgeons used teleoperated humanoid robots to remove gallbladders from live pigs, demonstrating a new human-robot collaboration in surgery. The robots were controlled remotely by skilled surgeons, not operating autonomously. If proven safe for humans, this cost-effective and space-saving approach could bring robotic-assisted surgery to smaller clinics, rural areas, battlefields, and even space.
