Researchers at UC Berkeley developed an AI-powered robot that can sew stitches on its own.
The robot uses cameras and a neural network to identify the needle and plan its movements.
It successfully completed 6 stitches in a row on fake skin, but can only average 3 across trials.
While impressive, the robot needs improvement: it can only handle 2D wounds and hasn't been tested on real tissue.
Both this and other robotic suturing projects aim to aid surgeons and improve patient outcomes.
Future challenges include handling complex wounds, smaller sutures, and animal skin testing.
