A team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University developed the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR), which can effectively conduct a laparoscopic treatment without the aid of a human surgeon. One such case, which represents a significant development in robotics towards completely automated surgery for humans, has previously been tested on soft tissue of a pig. When executing intestinal anastomosis, which requires a great deal of repetition and accuracy, the robot did remarkably well. The connecting of two ends of an intestine toge... more
