Have you ever watched any streams of somebody trying to play Job Simulator or other similar VR games? We have a long, long way to go with input tracking and control to get anything close to human dexterity over telepresence.
- howard941 8y agoI haven't but I take your point. How do surgeons operating remotely overcome the problems?
- mrguyorama 8y agoA whole lot of training and VERY expensive robots
- dwighttk 8y agothey use robots that cost millions of dollars
- Cerium 8y agoRobotic assisted surgery involves the surgeon using an expensive console in the same room as the operation. As others have said, the systems require a fair amount of training to become accustomed to. The training requirement is offset by the additional capabilities that the robot brings that humans do not possess. In particular robotic tools have a larger range of motion than conventional minimally invasive instruments do.
- sien 8y agoThey don't really. Telesurgery is a bit of a myth. It's been done a few dozen times. It doesn't make that much sense economically. It's actually cheaper to fly a surgeon or a patient around for the few occasions when it really needs to be done. Most surgery still isn't done with Da Vinci robots or whatever. Surgeons with their hands can do many more things. That's not to say those robots are not amazing, it's just that they don't do everything. The military is the one area where it might make sense, but have a close look. They don't do it either. Instead the US military has an amazing extraction system where someone injured in battle in the middle east can be at Rammstein within hours.
