Excerpt

Great progress has been made in the development of robotic surgical technology, but it is necessary to become skilled in using a robot. Among the advantages of a robot is practice in acquiring skill with stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) imaging. We describe use of the da Vinci surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Inc. Sunnyvale, CA) in developing necessary skills by practicing traditional Japanese Origami (paper folding), and we quantified the robotic-assisted dexterity. …
