DaVinci Surgical Robot Carves a Pumpkin

Posted on October 31, 2013

Here is a video of a daVinci surgical robot being used to carve a pumpkin for Halloween. Dr. Craig Nicholson M.D., Director of Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery at St. Rita's Medical Center is controlling the daVinci surgical robot in the video. He says it was sort of an educational thing to see if they could actually do it. He says the skin of the pumpkin was tough and is nothing like human tissues. Part of the video is sped up. Firefly Fluorescence was used to give the Jack-O'-Lantern an eerie green glow. Take a look:
