Medical Technology: Saving Lives
Digital

The second installment of my Robot Propaganda series. I feel it's important to note here, that, though all of them will certainly be exaggerated and twisted for the purposes of making me laugh, each one is based on real technology that already exists.

Oddly enough, so far, most of it seems to be coming from DARPA.

In this case, the technology is question is the Da Vinci Surgical System, a four armed robot that performs prostatectomies. Here's the thing, it does it more quickly than a human surgeon, does it better, and the patient can go home the next day.
