In July 2025, a research team from Johns Hopkins University in the United States announced that their AI surgical robot SRT-H can autonomously perform gallbladder removal surgery. The robot was trained using a "language-guided imitation learning" framework, using surgical videos of surgeons performing procedures on pig cadavers as data. It successfully completed eight sets of pig Операции за разделяне на жлъчния мехур и чернодробна със 100% точност .
During testing, SRT-H demonstrated multi-tool usage capabilities such as grasping and cutting, as well as real-time adaptability. The anatomical differences in pig organs closely simulate the complex scenarios of human surgery. Although the procedure took slightly longer than when performed by a human surgeon, the research team stated that the gap could be narrowed with further technical Оптимизация .
Unlike the Da Vinci system, which requires remote control by a surgeon, SRT-H achieves fully autonomous surgery. The global surgical robot market is currently valued at nearly $10 billion, with approximately 2.7 million robotic-assisted surgeries expected to be performed by 2024. Researchers believe that autonomous surgical robots could alleviate the Недостигът на хирурзи, намаляване на човешките грешки и предоставяне на стабилни услуги на региони с ограничени медицински ресурси.
Проучването е финансирано от множество институции и следващата стъпка ще бъде подобряване на адаптивността му към сложни сценарии и предварително клинични приложения .
