The da Vinci Robot Plays "Operation" Board Game

[@RoboTekno]

Honestly that's probably not bad practice. I would think this could make a good first test during initial training in using this robotic system.

[@Nemon89]

That's why working at institutes and unis can be so fun sometimes - you can just take a bilion dollar worth of equipment and fool around with it :D

[@gregistopal]

Lol

[@ryansample6016]

NOTE: The video demonstrates the remarkable level of precision and accuracy that the robot has, being able to render playing the game Operation relatively trivial. Then again, due to the robot not being grounded, a circuit would not be completed (of which lights up the nose) if the user made an error.

[@somedudewatchingyoutube9163]

That 6 year old begging his mom to buy the da Vinci robot to play games with it

[@declan7551]

This robot is definitely being used in the best way it could be.

[@creiley]

@sirbruce1970 Good eye, the arm wasn't grounded. We just wanted to show the dexterity of the tools. We could have grounded the tool, but because this is a 2 million dollar research device, we decided not to. :D Cheers, Graduate Students at Johns Hopkins Engineering

[@MichaelPottsIT]

Did anyone notice the Xbox 360 Kinect in the upper right hand corner at 1:25? Wonder what they are using that for......

[@Darkeus]

The fact that there are people saying that money was wasted doing this are just..... Hopeless? This was a pretty cool training piece and showed the precision the robot has. Seems like a good video to me!

[@sarahfoxphotography]

Thank you! I knew someone had to have made this video. Well done!

[@Hyperious_in_the_air]

I had one of these things digging around in my brain a year ago, somehow though this is more impressive.

[@karlhungus5554]

Nicely done. Lovely music, too.

[@jimmythesnagglepuss]

that smile at the end though :D

[@allagashandlulu]

I just had thoracic surgery done with this robot. pretty amazing stuff. Way better than having my ribs spread.... ;)

[@BeastOfSoda]

how unprofessionally awesome XD

[@Hedger41]

Use it to draw a circle with an etch a sketch and I'll be impressed.

[@VampireSquirrel]

of course it's not going to go off if you if you don't use the clip >:(

[@chuckmawson7273]

So is its programming considered “da Vinci Code?” 😁

[@OnCallParty]

HEY! Isnt this tune from Always Sunny In Philly!?

[@Alufear]

"Fired, so fired, so incredibly fired."

[@Puffbrause123]

what is this for a nice elevator music? please help me

[@jonathanrios7332]

Awesome technology .

[@mrcactu5]

music credit? uber famous...

[@jamcdonald120]

did you hook up the electrodes?

[@sirbruce1970]

But... the robot isn't using the attached probe... so it won't complete the circuit... so even if it touches the sides it won't set off the buzzer...

[@matthewbrown5228]

excuse me, but, let's be honest here, alright? this was a triumph. I'm making a note here. Huge Success! It's hard to overstate my satisfaction!

[@jarthos123]

This looks like a fairly legitimate way to use some multi-million dollar equipment.

[@yaboi-ii4ne]

They did surgery on a board game

[@MalibuInvestor]

Was great then, even better newly improved now. By the way, their $ISRG stock hitting new all time highs now !

[@ApsaIus]

@sirbruce1970 Cpt. Obvious brings us all to our senses. Good job.

[@acmscougar]

what is this music

[@goldencricket]

The surgeon is adorable.

[@Gaz_minis]

@hmhackmaster You mean left. Spent ages looking for it ^^

"hey, why don't do that!??"

You can obviously see she hit the sides multiple times before she grab the thing. :S

[@M4F]

I'm in love.

[@mjsunkiter]

Kinect at 1:53. Now Doctors can telekinetically operate!

[@AkimboJoe]

I love the 1950's music to along with the idea of using robots for everything. Also who knew there were such cute girls in robotics?

[@A3Kr0n]

Would it have even buzzed if the side was touched? I think you need to do it again with the wire attached, which will of course void the warranty on your robot.

[@Cullenatorable]

All it takes is metal which they are using

[@WiscoBoundTrucker]

that's exactly what i was thinking...

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

@jbdranger Dude, these are the same types of people who are gonna be saving your friggin lives. And that robot isn't operating on someone 24/7.

[@MrRetlav]

Ahhh using super advanced and expensive technology for a board game..... Welcome to America...

[@Carbunkal]

@AkimboJoe You haven't worked in robotics if you are making that statement =)

[@monimitzi6419]

Fabuloso !!!! :D

[@closedsinoda601]

how sweet!! ^___^

[@theNimboo]

@sirbruce1970 But it didn't.

[@umibooozu]

Faut bien rentabiliser la machine à 10 millions

[@angelbotto]

jaja awesome jaja yo tambien me enamore de la doctora xD

[@YousefAb]

This is hilarious !!

[@Weiszcracker]

Never send a robot to do a human's job....

[@zaphoid33]

@jarthos123 you are correct, people should train on real patients

[@EmperorOfMars]

Not cheating...

[@jarthos123]

@zaphoid33 Thank you for understanding my position. I mean really, why not simply train on homeless people?

[@bakelalnajar5963]

🤣🤣🤣👑 biomedical engineering 👑

[@Proto1215]

Chick is cute!

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

@jbdranger Oh you wanna know what the military and police do with bomb disposal robots? Race them, and even make pancakes with them. santafenewmexican.co m/LocalNews/Robot-challenge Those things cost $225, 000. And doing stuff like that trains the technicians and demonstrates their versatility.

[@iDansWorld]

Overkill? No such thing.

[@ApsaIus]

@GcNexus11 So people are not allowed time to relax where you live? That sucks for you guys.

[@sukmyback]

I hated this game. Always made me pee a little when the buzzer went off...

[@ivandjones]

cute

[@ValdemarCamilo]

shhhh......

[@davbhard]

I'm an inspector for the company that does the quality inspection for the Da Vinci, and their newest robot, so I won't say anything to jeopardize my job,

[@Sheridan1423]

David Von Raesfeld then why didnt you just shut the fuck up originally and not post this stupid, pointless, probably false comment? Textbook douchebag.

[@davbhard]

Michael Sheridan Why would it matter to you what I said? Why would you wait 3 months to cry about what someone else said, on a video made 4 years ago? Sounds like someone is mad they can't get a job? Textbook loser, whose going to end up homeless or sponging off his parent for the rest of their pathetic life. By the way, your "dojo master" videos and everything else on your page, actually make me think you'll turn out to be a fine human, and a great contributor to society.

[@squidstar111]

Rekt

[@dajosh42069]

+David Von Raesfeld He may have been overzealous in saying what he did.. but the core of what he said is correct... Why say anything in the first place if you're "not going to say anything"? That's like being at a wedding, and when it is said, " Speak now, or forever hold your peace." You stand up, announce "I'm her ex boyfriend...but.... I won't say anything, because I could cause trouble." Why say something, if you aren't going to say something? I believe that is what the profane gentleman was trying to get across...albeit, in a meaner and less effective manner.

[@YuriFMachi]

That's cheating!

What's wrong with you people? She's chinese
