A $16K Humanoid Completed a Gallbladder Removal in a Pig — But a Human Drove Every Move
Evidence-first notes on bioscience and deep tech, at the edge of the lab and the market. Information only — not investment advice. The 30-second version What. A UC San Diego team (Yip lab) mounted wristed laparoscopic instruments on a low-cost commercial humanoid (Unitree G1) and ran a three-stage study — benchtop characterization, dry-lab user study,…
