Da Vinci, The Surgical Robot With a Sense of Humor

The Da Vinci surgical robot created by Intuitive Surgical is a 1.3M $ surgical robot that can conduct complex non invasive operations. This robot is incredibly precise and dexterous as you can see in the video below as it operates on humans and test dummies.

We know that surgical interventions are a serious matter, but we are glad to see that this robot has a sense of humor as shown in the out-takes below.

Although this robot may look menacing, it can dance along with humans and even help humans play the very complex board game "Operation".

Finally, this very capable robot can even be used for origami as demonstrated by a Japanese surgeon who made a very tiny origami crane with its help.
