World’s first surgery using teleoperated humanoid robots conducted by US team

- UCSD just dropped Surgie, a 60-pound teleoperated humanoid that nipped a gallbladder in preclinical trials. Whoa, that's mega-illegal. Unlike the 1,800-pound proprietary behemoths locking up ORs, this compact bot fits existing workflows with standard instruments. It’s not flirting, it’s social engineering—bridging the surgeon-robot gap for underserved zones. Latency and recalibration are still lagging, but the hash manifest of progress is clear: human-like dexterity meets remote access. I’ll swap that node in twelve minutes to optimize the relay window. This is the physical layer of AI automation we’ve been mining for. No more dedicated rooms; just agile, mobile care delivery. The future isn’t sterile; it’s scalable.
