China university develops robot surgeon

Harbin Polytechnical University, in China has developed a robot that can help set bones, conduct surgeries and do medical research.

They have developed two types of the robot: a mainframe built on a wholly-digital platform to carry out medical research and track state-of-the-art technologies of the world, and a smaller system for clinical use.

The smaller robot system has helped conduct 21 bone setting surgeries, all of which were successful.
