off topic and can be skipped as it currently has nothing to do with QUIK.

But very cool.
Currently surgical robots have to feeling in their hands- will surgical robots of the future have a LOT more sensors added to them? I hope so.

J&J and Google to Jointly Develop Robot-Assisted Surgery Program


(Bloomberg) — Johnson & Johnson, the world’s biggest maker of health-care products, is collaborating with Google Inc. to develop a robotic-assisted surgical program.

The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“This collaboration with Google is another important step in our commitment to advancing surgical care,” Gary Pruden, worldwide chairman of New Brunswick, New Jersey-based J&J’s global surgery group, said in a statement.

Robotic surgeries have been growing in popularity, and J&J’s pact with Google would allow it to better compete against companies like Intuitive Surgical Inc., a major participant in the industry. Still, such procedures aren’t without risks. A 2013 complaint by the Colorado Medical Board alleged patients suffered injuries or complications from robotic surgeries including punctured or torn arteries.
