- Robot Surgery – Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR) beat professional surgeons in surgery experiments, able to make more precise cuts and cause less skin damage
- Experiment Goal – Robot and surgeons cut five centimeter straight lines on pig skin
- Test Results – Robot cut lines nearer to five centimeters, produced straighter lines, and resulted in less skin damage
- Other Experiments – Robot performed tumor cutting experiment with great accuracy, while 2016 experiment showed STAR able to sew pig intestine better than human surgeons
- Next Step – Train robot to cut tumors with complex 3D shapes
