Aleph Surgery raises $7.5 million pre-seed round led by a16z to build a robotic surgeon

One of the people building Aleph Surgery says they raised $7.5 million in pre-seed funding led by a16z to build a robotic surgeon. The team aims to create a system that can acquire, refine and transfer surgical skills across millions of procedures. They say its first version is already learning to perform surgical tasks autonomously from demonstrations and to improve from its own experience.
