Humanoid Robots Perform Historic Live Surgery for the First Time

Two commercially available Unitree G1 humanoid robots, guided by a team from the University of California, San Diego, have successfully performed a live gallbladder removal from a pig. Equipped with three-fingered hands, cameras, and sensors, the robots cut tissue, clipped vessels, and removed the organ under human supervision. This breakthrough marks a significant milestone in robotics and AI integration into healthcare, demonstrating the potential for future surgical applications.
