Surgical robots offer a tantalizing possibility. They could allow military doctors stationed safely distant from the front line, for example, to perform operations without once putting their hands on patients. For that vision to become reality, however, surgical robots need plenty of improvement. One challenge is designing systems that can work under conditions very different from those of pristine operating rooms.
