    In case there is any confusion, people should be aware this is not an autonomous robot.  A surgeon is remotely controlling the machine from a console.  It is a very impressive system, but still human operated. You can see the consoles and the machine in this image:

    Certainly pricy, hopefully it is worth it, but I expect it is reserved for those who pay the highest insurance premiums

    I wonder if any patents will be expiring soon.
