Collaboration with a robotic scrub nurse

Some of you are interested in AI or robots in healthcare.  I was going to share this with certain students, but then thought you might all might find it interesting.  I found this in the ACM (Association of Computing Machinery - an excellent resource on all things technology) UA library database.   The article* is how surgeons use hand gestures and/or voice commands to the robot without interrupting the natural flow of a procedure.

* requires that you are on UAWiFi to access or look up.
