AI Surgery II

Short answer: Robotic microsurgery systems assist surgeons with procedures on nerves, blood vessels and eye tissue. They use real-time imaging, motion scaling, which turns large hand movements into tiny instrument motions, and tremor filtering; some research systems add AI to assist or partly automate steps.

The footage, credited to Innovology, shows a robotic arm operating at small scale.
