In a groundbreaking achievement for medical robotics, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have successfully executed a fully autonomous surgery on human tissue using a robotic system with 100% accuracy, marking a significant step towards practical clinical applications.

Detailed in a paper in 'Science Robotics,' the team describes how the SRT-H robot, powered by AI algorithms similar to those used in ChatGPT, performed an operation on human tissue gall bladders. The robot learned from surgical videos and responded to real-time voice commands, mimicking a trainee guided by an experienced surgeon.

This innovative approach highlights an essential advancement in medical robotics. Unlike previous controlled trials, the SRT-H adapts to unique anatomical structures in real-time, taking intuitive decisions and self-correcting, showcasing its potential for handling unpredictable clinical settings. Though slower, its results parallel those of seasoned surgeons, signaling a promising leap towards autonomous surgery.
