Microsurgery Assistance Robot Stitching a Corn Kernel


Sony introduced their new Microsurgery Assistance Robot at the 2024 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Robotics and Automation.
 It can be controlled by a trained microsurgeon from a distance, but since it has a microscope for viewing and scaled-up controls, it can be used by surgeons who are not specialists in microsurgery.
 Imagine being able to fix tiny holes in delicate blood vessels, inside a body where the problem is not exposed by a large incision.
 In this demonstration video, the robot uses various instruments to cut and then stitch up that cut on a single kernel of corn.
