SANTA CRUZ - In Jacob Rosen’s operating room, the nurses might quit if they stray too far from the wall sockets.
In a videotaped demonstration of Rosen’s robotic operating room, two robotic arms stitched and snipped sutures across a wound on the patient’s torso. Rosen pointed at a third arm as it retrieved a tool and passed it to one of the surgeon arms.
“This is the nurse, by the way,” said Rosen.
The UC Santa Cruz computer engineer is making real surgery look more like the surgery in video games and science fiction movies.
