Sony has unveiled a prototype of its new microsurgery assistance robot, capable of assisting surgeons by performing automatic surgical implement exchange and precision control.

Designed to be used in combination with a microscope, the robot can work on extremely delicate body parts, such as veins and nerves.

The model made its first public debut at the 2024 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers International Conference on Robotics and Automation, which took place in Yokohama May 13-17.

The design was also demonstrated in a video, showing it performing a delicate surgery by stitching corn kernels.
