Paging Dr. Robot

A Duke University team of biomedical engineers have developed a robot and computer algorithm capable of performing basic surgical functional autonomously.  The robotic system was able to locate simulated lesions from artificial breast and prostate tissue utilizing ultrasound transducers.  The idea behind the research appears to be reducing the costs of imaging procedures by eliminating the need for human labor and expertise.
