The only thing better than tiny robot hands that operate to save lives are tiny multi-talented life-saving robot hands that can also make paper aeroplanes.
If you’re in the medical profession, you might recognize the machine in this week’s Video of the Week. The da Vinci surgical robot provides surgeons with the kind of precision that cannot be matched by the gloved, golden-hands of even the most talented surgeon. He also makes paper aeroplanes.
Of course, one could argue that the impressive part of all of this is the skill exhibited by Dr. James Porter, the man at the da Vinci’s controls, and one might be right. Okay, smarty-pants: who’s fault is it that this robot throws like a girl?

Oh yes it can, but its unwillingness to shoot anyone makes it useless, it only wants to make friends and make them paper aeroplanes...
What impresses me most is how well it was operated.
this tool is already used for surgery, nothing new here, lol
hell the most impressive thing i did was fold a paper crane, the puff back, not the it flaps its wings kind, at 1/5 the size of a dime.
i had to do the folds with pins, a razor, and a microscope i had.
i have also written my name so small it couldn't be read with the human eye.
now what i am impressed with is the speed this guy did that at, however a surgen needs to be able to do this kind of crap in under 1 minute, and be accurate... these tools are for cutting and stitching inside of the human body with no cutting, or open heart surgery, and stitching the vessels on the heart. you know crap like that where you you have to move fast.
On a side note those are some serious roach clips.
It seems from the vid, that the user has a difficulty estimating the depth, like you have looking through a magnifier glass or a microscope.
I wonder if the plane ever lifted off.
Impressive skill yes, but for remote surgeries, otherwise, I do not think that anybody would like to be under these metallic pointy tentacles!
