Recent advancements in robotic surgical systems have markedly improved performance, particularly in force feedback accuracy and autonomous functionality. Innovative end-effector technologies include force sensing systems achieving 583 pm/v sensitivity, flexible actuators for precise tissue manipulation, and AI algorithms enabling autonomous suturing with 96% accuracy. Additionally, novel materials like self-healing polymers exhibit over 95% stress recovery. These developments promise to enhance surgical precision and adaptability, highlighting the future potential of minimally invasive procedures in modern medicine.
