da Vinci

Overview

The da Vinci is a surgical robot designed for minimally invasive procedures. It has four arms equipped with surgical instruments and cameras that a physician controls remotely from a console. The system provides surgeons with tiny robotic tools requiring much smaller incisions and high-definition 3D vision with infrared imaging capabilities. The da Vinci offers tools with greater range of motion than the human hand, enabling complex surgical procedures with enhanced precision and visualization.
