ROBOT PERFORMS HEART SURGERY

A robot in Milan (crazy italians) did a 50-minute surgery to aid a patient suffering from atrial fibrillation.

This robot has been involved with over 40 operations, but this one was carried out by the robot. He wasn't an assistant, he was THE surgeon.

Welcome to the OR Johnny 5 will be your surgeon today.

i would think that a robot is less likely to make a mistake

computers don't make mistakes, and i'm pretty sure robots are computers
