Robotic Surgeons

There was a ground-braking operation using robots in mid-january, and robotic surgery seems to be going from strength to strength since then. There's been two very recent articles about this:

The first article is probably the most interesting, describing how the 7 foot robot is used to visualise and guide the implements with cutting-edge accuracy (pardon the pun ;) This is a very expensive experimental robot, but I'm convinced we'll be seeing more of these in the short/medium term future; stable and reliable guided movement is one things our current generation robots are good at!
