Surgical robots were first introduced in 1985 and have since evolved to assist with various medical procedures. While they provide benefits like increased precision, stability, and minimally invasive surgeries, there are also concerns. A key worry is that as the technology advances, the robots may gain more autonomy and take control away from surgeons. However, most robots currently are controlled by medical professionals and aim to aid rather than replace them. Overall, surgical robots offer advantages for reducing human errors and improving patient outcomes and recovery times, but ensuring surgeon control remains important as the technology continues to progress.
