Researchers from organizations including Boston Children’s Hospital and Johns Hopkins University are developing robotic technologies that aim to automate surgical tasks, according to The Wall Street ...

A robot has performed a realistic surgery for the first time without human help. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University said Wednesday that the robot had “unflappably” conducted a lengthy phase of a ...

Researchers from Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins University have developed a robotic surgical system capable of adjusting to the specific needs of soft tissue to execute precise and consistent suturing.

At the renowned AI for Surgery lab in Baltimore, Maryland, a STAR was born. The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR) was brought to artificial life by Axel Krieger and colleagues at Johns Hopkins ...

A robot "surgeon" trained on videos has performed the first realistic operation without human help. The automaton conducted a lengthy phase of a gallbladder removal without the aid of humans in what ...

The hope is that an autonomous surgical robot will improve these odds. See the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR) in action in this video demonstrating how the system laparoscopically sutures a ...

Could a robot smaller than a microorganism actually think on its own? Well, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania ...

Elon Musk says the surgical scalpel is about to lose its top billing to algorithms and actuators, predicting "robots will surpass good human surgeons within a few years and the best human surgeons ...

Not even the surest surgeon's hand is quite as steady and consistent as a robotic arm built of metal and plastic, programmed to perform the same motions over and over. So could it handle the slippery ...
