=== Medical and surgical === In the medical field, robots are used to make precise movements that are difficult for humans. Robotic surgery involves the use of less-invasive surgical methods, which are “procedures performed through tiny incisions”.<ref>Robotic surgery. (n.d.). <nowiki>https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/robotic-surgery/about/pac-20394974</nowiki><br /></ref> Robots use the [[Da Vinci Surgical System|da Vinci surgical method]], which involves the robotic arm (which holds onto surgical instruments) and a camera. The surgeon sits on a console where he controls the robot wirelessly. The feed from the camera is projected on a monitor, allowing the surgeon to see the incisions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is Robotic Surgery? |url=https://www.uclahealth.org/medical-services/robotic-surgery/what-robotic-surgery |access-date=2024-03-01 |website=www.uclahealth.org |language=en}}</ref> The system is built to mimic the movement of the surgeon’s hands and has the ability to filter slight hand tremors. But despite the visual feedback, there is no physical feedback. In other words, as the surgeon applies force on the console, the surgeon won’t be able to feel how much pressure he or she is applying to the tissue.
