How Flight Simulation Tech Can Help Turn Robots Into Surgeons

The robotic platform heaves, as if breathing. Atop it stretches a piece of white gauze with a blue line painted down the middle. Along this line another robot snips with little surgical scissors, waiting for the platform to come to a brief rest before making a cut. This could be you one day. Not that you'll turn into a robot--you may go under the knife of a machine working as a surgical assistant.
