Robots are getting a whole lot better in assisting surgeons during operations. ARASH:ASiST is a robotic system for eye procedures. It serves as a mechanically remote center of motion (RCM) mechanism for vitrectomy eye surgery. As the researchers explain:
In minimally-invasive eye surgery, the surgical instrument enters the patient’s eye through a small incision, and the surgery process takes place around this pivot point.
