Obviously it's hard for everybody to predict
the future for instance, a couple of years
ago no one would have predicted that smartphones
would have such a big impact on our everyday
life so I can imagine that in thirty years
we will definitely have a much better systems
while performing surgical procedures that
help us to understand what's actually happening
and to offer support and assistance on the cognitive
level
however when it comes to physically interacting
with the patient that is a much more difficult
problem and you also need dexterous manipulation
skills that professional surgeons have but
we have not yet found a way to transfer such
skills to robots and all the methods that
we are aware of today do not scale yet
