Precision at Scale: Robotic Solutions in Modern Surgery
Author(s): Atlas Blake*
The evolution of robotic surgery is a remarkable journey that highlights the intersection of medicine, engineering, and technology. Rooted in
the quest for improved surgical outcomes and patient care, robotic surgery has undergone significant advancements since its inception in the
late 20th century. The concept of robotic surgery first emerged in the 1980s, driven by the desire to augment traditional surgical techniques with
robotic assistance. Early experiments focused on exploring ways to enhance precision and control in surgical procedures, particularly in delicate
and complex surgeries. One of the pioneering developments during this period was the introduction of the PUMA 560 robotic surgical system in
1985. Although limited in its capabilities, this system laid the groundwork for future innovations in the field. However, it wasn't until the 1990s that
