robotic surgeon
Mechanical operating assistant
A robotic surgeon is a surgical system that uses robotic arms controlled by a human surgeon, typically from a console with magnified 3D visualization.
The surgeon manipulates controls that translate hand movements into precise micro-movements of instruments inside the patient: The robotic surgeon allowed for minimally invasive removal of the tumor.
Despite the name, the robot doesn't operate autonomously—it's a tool that extends human capability rather than replacing it.
