Robodoc: Surgeons find four-armed 'robot' better than two steady hands

Robotic surgery has arrived! A four-armed operating robot named da Vinci is cutting into patients in ways that doctors and surgeons never thought they could. 

Under the glare of an operating theatre lamp, Paul Renforth at the Freeman hospital in Newcastle, England demonstrates the £2 million (RM11mil) da Vinci robot that has transformed surgery on patients. The four-armed robot is operated by a surgeon from a booth using two finger grips that move the arms and control the instruments on the end of each.
