These machines require a lot of practice to use, can anyone really think of a better way to practice using the machine outside of a very fiddly very delicate game?
Students Use Million Dollar Surgical Robot to Play Operation

What's wrong with this? If it couldn't play operation I would be a bit sketchy on having it operate on a person.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
It's hardly fragile as it's meant to operate on people and it's being used by people trained to use it.
What? How is this wasting money? It's not like it's consumable lol nor is it in danger of breaking.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
Lighten up.
The alternative is being operated on by a human directly.VincentX3 said:I would not like to be strapped under that 2million dollar machine, it looks like an accident waiting to happen
Even without accidents the fact is that humans are much more limited.
I would pick a robot over a human, like I'd pick a human over a trained monkey.
That is, if they are allowed to, and made to, practise.
After reading some other posts I realize practising with the practice robot is somehow a waste of money.
Still, I'd rather have them waste money and save lives because they've actually used the thing before.
You do realize smart people study too, don't you?Boyninja616 said:
I'm pretty sure if you're in this area of expertise, you're one of the smart ones.
That is why collage is the best time of ones life.
Thumbs up Johns Hopkins University Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics, I'm sure deep down you did it for SCIENCE

No real waste considering doing the operation game goes alongside the students curiculum, and the 2 million dollar machine was not purchased for this. so students paying money for the classes and using the skills the class teaches them to perform precise and delicate actions to complete the game using the games basic mechanics of remove the part without touching the sides. what waste? they probably learned a bit of problem solving and had fun learning.
Oh cool, my dad builds these things. Got to play with one at the main office, they are so much fun.
I'd do it if I could. Just because I could. Also because I've never won that game.
"How was your weekend?"
"I used a multi-million dollar surgical robot...to play Operation."

Seriously though, if it was for practice it's fine.

I was kind of thinking the same thing.The Lunatic said:
I mean this could be a good way to test the future versions of this machine.
Two things wrong with that statement,RedEyesBlackGamer said:
1- Most purchases of hospital equipment come from private donations.
2- Surgeons are amongst the most highly stressed professionals out there, stress relief is one of the vital things to ensure successful procedures.
