Experts say this successful use of imitation learning removes the need to train robots to make every individual move required during surgery and brings the field even closer to the possibility of robots performing complex procedures without human help. “All we do is feed it camera input and it can predict the robotic movements needed for surgery,” said senior author Axel Krieger.
