It seems the robots are actually coming to save us. From ‘bionic’ prostheses that offer the wearer better positioning through spatial awareness, to miniscule endoscopy bots that work like remote-controlled vehicles, robots are offering patients and doctors greater control than ever before. The da Vinci surgical system allows surgeons to operate machines that mimic their hand movements, offering greater dexterity and precision and reducing the invasive nature of surgery.

A necessary disclaimer: Robots don’t actually perform the surgery. We can only imagine the emails they receive.
