The early da Vinci systems were really the Model T of robotic surgery. They became fairly ubiquitous because they were the only real thing readily available and reasonably supported. And like the Model T was debateably better than walking or horseback or bicycle, the early da Vinci was considered better than open surgery, (especially for sparing the nerve bundle during prostatectomies). We are still in the early stages of design advancements for robotic surgery, but whereas we are invested in a next-gen technology to advance the state of the art in robotic surgery, the Japanese company in that article appears to have just shown off the Model T of robotic surgery, with no outwardly visible improvement. Surely they are using modern computing processors and circuitry and a number of updates which aren't visually obvious, but the basic design concept appears way too similar to 15 and 20+ year old technologies. And we all see how well that business model has served Trixie!

What you call an archaic design most would call a proven and widely adapted design..
SPORT or ENOS or whatever it is hasn’t even touched a living human patient...
It’s been years since we’ve heard a surgeon comment on SPORT and virtually nothing from surgeons on the new design.
MacNally might wind up parting it out...
