So, are we entering into a world where robots gonna replace the need of a fin Han surgeon? That's in my opinion a good innovation but it needs to be dealt under great supervision of humans. Robots can't confirm the precision but yes they can perform tasks of precision under the guidance.
The robot here is absolutely not replacing a surgeon. To quote from the piece:
the robot, currently in prototype form, is a low-latency remote surgery device in which the surgeon uses a pair of squeeze-sensitive, pen-like controllers and watches the real-life effects through a tiny, stereoscopic 4K 3D camera system. This feeds real-time vision through to a pair of OLED screens in what effectively amounts to a strapless, desk-mounted set of VR goggles that the surgeon rests their face in.
It simply is a way to allow a surgeon to operate on a scale that was previously too small, and to do so without being as invasive as current methods.
