So this is the Da Vinci Surgical Robotics System.
So it's a system designed for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery.
The system has four arms, one holding a stereoscopic HD camera and the
other holding instruments like graspers, cutters, staplers and other
types of surgical instruments.
The surgeon can sit at that console.
He or she will get an HD vision of what is going on in the body and
get to control in a master-slave manner the instruments that he has in
the field.
So if you look at that, you see that this gentleman is trying to play
around with that coin over there so he can grasp and move it around.
If there's tissue he can cut and things like that.
There's tremor filtering so the vibrations in the hand are basically
dampened by the system so there's a very precise motion.
You can scale the motion to basically do a very precise kind of motion
here.
If you can take a look at here, you can get the kind of motion that he
is working with.
This is a normal manual laparoscopic tool.
As you see, there is no wrist in it.
So it's very difficult to do specific types of tasks like suturing and
cutting and these sort of things.
Whereas these instruments are wristed, as you can see.
It's very similar to the wrist of a human so you can do this kind of
motion.
So it's like you get your two eyes in the body and with two hands, but
we are not making a big incision.
We're just making like sub-centimeter incisions.
So you can basically go home after the surgery on the same day.
