Robots have been used in surgeries for a long time. They are usually teleoperated by surgeons to perform procedures. This surgical robot learned how to perform surgical procedures by watching videos of robotic surgeries. It can get them done with even more precision. As the below video from John Hopkins University shows, this robot was trained using silicone suture pads. Even when disrupted, the robot detects and makes corrections.
With this approach, robots no longer need to be programmed to perform each individual move during a medical procedure.
