Hugo RAS by Medtronic
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
