A Japanese surgeon demonstrates the precision of a DaVinci surgical robot with its ability to practice the art of origami. Dr. Norihiko Ishikawa of the Department of Telesurgery has the robot folding a crane no bigger than a penny using nothing but it’s robotic pincer-like hands.
I’d gladly let this robot slice me open to deprive me of a kidney if it’s precise enough to fold paper into a miniature crane. Who knows? Maybe it is capable of doing other Japanese recreational activities such as Bonsai. It may save lives and due neat arts and crafts but is it Johnny-Five?
