According to @ai_darpa, the da Vinci robotic surgery system from Intuitive Surgical demonstrates remarkable precision and dexterity, as shown in a viral video where it skillfully cuts and sutures the skin of a grape. Since its introduction in the 2000s, the da Vinci system has revolutionized minimally invasive surgeries by enabling surgeons to perform complex procedures with less risk and faster recovery times (source: @ai_darpa, Dec 28, 2025). While the system is not fully autonomous and requires a surgeon to control its robotic arms remotely, its integration of advanced robotics and AI-driven assistance sets a new standard in surgical technology. The growing intersection of AI, robotics, and healthcare—highlighted by references to Tesla Optimus and leading-edge MedTech—signals significant business opportunities for hospitals, device manufacturers, and AI developers in the expanding surgical robotics market (source: @ai_darpa, Dec 28, 2025).
