Hugo v da Vinci, Smarter Surgery
July 6, 2021 | Terry Sharrer
Medtronic’s surgical robot aims to rival the da Vinci machine with AI and machine learning. “Emerging AI surgical systems could even be trained to automatically detect if a surgical device goes out of view of the surgical scope during a procedure and stop the device from activation, thus avoiding inadvertent injury. The Hugo system includes Medtronic’s Valleylab FT10 energy platform that senses tissue at 434,000 times a second to automatically deliver a consistent tissue effect during blood vessel sealing and related procedures.” MORE
