Sony has just launched a completely new surgical robot model, which has been successfully tested on animals and achieved great success. To demonstrate precise microsurgery capabilities, Sony had the robot perform surgery on an ear of corn.

According to official information, Sony's surgical robot is the first machine that can automatically change surgical tools. This is an important step that can bring great benefits to the microsurgery industry - where doctors must perform surgery on microscopic objects such as blood vessels or nerves with fiber diameters of less than 1mm that need to be used. even a microscope.

Sony's robots do not automatically perform surgery, but are tools that help doctors see more clearly, and at the same time reduce the scale of hand movements to the 'micro' level.

Sony's camera and TV experts have helped this surgical robot be able to see and accurately recognize the scene it is observing. Real-time images are transmitted to a pair of OLED screens mounted on a VR headset worn on the doctor's head. Although it is only a test device, the robot has achieved surprisingly low latency in transmitting the surgeon's hand operations to the two robotic arms performing microsurgery.

In addition, the robot is also capable of changing surgical tools in just 10 seconds, helping the microsurgery go smoothly.

In February, Sony's robot helped surgeons participating in a trial at Achi Medical University (AMU) successfully perform microsurgery on a 0.6 mm diameter blood vessel on an animal's body. experiment.

Sony affirms that it will continue to test and refine the performance of microsurgical robots to contribute to the advancement of the medical industry.
