I wanted to clarify some misinformation about the size of Verb Surgical's robot. Some people have said it will be 20% the size of a DaVinci which I can't find anywhere.

"J&J has previously said the new robotic surgery tools will have a smaller footprint and allow surgeons to work closer to patients. Greater color on this was provided by Henry Brandon, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets, who sounded a confident note that the Verb Surgical robot, a prototype of which was built by Ethicon last year, will be 20% smaller than Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci system. In a research note published Thursday, Brandon noted that the Verb Surgical robot would also be significantly cheaper than the da Vinci—the average selling price of the da Vinci system is about $1.68 million."
