@BrianRoemmele 🤯 This is the moment sci-fi becomes reality. Humanoid robots performing live surgery — and doing it better? Surgeon shortages in rural areas just got a real solution. The OR of 2030 is going to be unrecognizable. Humanity just leveled up. 🔥
@BrianRoemmele This is like crediting a knife for putting peanut butter on a slice of bread. The robots didn't perform the surgery, the people operating them did.
@BrianRoemmele I am hopefully & probably going to end up trusting robots more than humans on this front. Cool to see & we'll see how the story goes.
@BrianRoemmele Yes PLEASE 🙏 I’ve witnessed enough. “Need 🤖🙏
@BrianRoemmele bro i trust the robot more than the intern surgeon tbh
BOOM! Humanoid Robots Just Performed Surgery for the First Time! REAL VIDEO! In a groundbreaking preclinical breakthrough, researchers at UC San Diego have achieved what many thought was years away: teleoperated humanoid robots successfully completing live surgeries. Published in Nature, the study marks the world’s first use of humanoid robots for in-vivo laparoscopic procedures on large animals (pigs). Two separate surgeries were completed: Key Details •. Procedure: Laparoscopic gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) •. Team 1: Human surgeon + one humanoid robot (the robot performed core tasks while the human assisted) •. Team 2: Two humanoid robots working together with no human at the operating table •. Robots: Custom “Surgie” humanoids (~5 ft tall, ~60 lbs) using standard surgical tools •. Control: Fully teleoperated by surgeons (remote human control, not autonomous) •. Significance: First demonstration of humanoid robots handling real surgical workflows in a live setting, proving compatibility with existing OR tools and spaces This proof shows humanoid robots could one day help address surgeon shortages, enable remote procedures in rural areas, battlefields, or even space all at a fraction of the cost and space of traditional surgical robots like da Vinci. Read the full publication here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10796-x Project page with video: https://humanoid-surgeon.github.io/ The future of surgery just got a whole lot more interesting. And medical cost for the first time in decades will be scheduled to go down, much further down.
