Five AI systems are already assisting surgeons today, backed by published clinical studies. See what they actually do in the OR and where AI stops short of autonomy.
A clinical breakdown of the six levels of surgical robot autonomy, from robot assistance to full autonomy, and where today's cleared systems actually stand.
Choosing a surgical robot is no longer a one-company decision. For years, Intuitive's da Vinci platform dominated robotic soft tissue surgery. Today, Medtronic's Hugo and Johnson & Johnson's Ottava offer hospitals alternative approaches, each built around different priorities. All three platforms allow surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures with robotic assistance. None performs surgery autonomously. The differences lie in design, workflow, clinical experience, and
