It is assuredly inferior on paper, as long as SPORTS' hand-to-effector control is good. daVinci proved that fly-by-wire technology works in surgery, using wristed motion. Titan will have to prove at least that level of control with snake-like articulation. Still remains to be seen by us investors because the videos haven't shown enough of the control at the effectors and what the surgeon needs to be doing in terms of their hands to produce it. I'm quite hopeful that SPORT will prove up to the task because of the IREP technology.

As I've said before, I can not believe that Surgibot will have any advantage in terms of :haning natural haptics". That's a marketing fable that I predict will go nowhere quite soon. The physical feedback for the surgeon is unlikely to be strong enough through its mechanisms. It is probably more of a mental advantage of directly seeing the results of your hand motions. If SPORT articulation is more precise than Surgibot is capable of, SPORT will be at an advantage even without haptics.
