What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Too early to adopt

Why
A genuine research milestone (peer-reviewed Science Robotics, 100% on 8 ex vivo trials) but pre-clinical, narrow-task, and supervised — years from any deployable product.
Next
Watch for in vivo (live animal) replication and independent reproduction; track whether the da Vinci-based stack generalizes beyond cholecystectomy.
