• 2026-09-17 - Demonstration - Rainbow Robotics humanoid assistants support simulated surgery in Korean project

  One robot recognised instruments by camera rather than fixed position and handed them to the surgeon on voice command, while the other held the endoscope using visual servoing to follow the surgeon's instrument movements and pulled tissue on request. The project is led by Samsung Seoul Hospital with the National Cancer Center, Jeonbuk National University Hospital, the industry-academic foundations of Seoul National University and Sungkyunkwan University, and companies including Rainbow Robotics, AIDIN Robotics and Ha Haeho. The work is at proof-of-concept stage roughly 15 months into a five-year programme building an operating-room assistant robot, an approach the team contrasts with console-based surgical robots.
