Operates with natural hand-eye coordination while seated at a console.
Instrument’s movements mimic the surgeon’s hand movements - when the surgeon turns the controls clockwise, the robot’s instruments turn clockwise.
In many cases, the surgical robot can accomplish intricate movements and procedures that a surgeon’s hands cannot physically do.
