perform micro-surgeries
Ever since the Terminator films hit the big screen, the world has been transfixed by the concept of humanoid-appearing alien robots performing all sorts of earthly activities, often with a nefarious ulterior motive. Top robotics developers in Japan, the United States, and across Europe have been hard at work creating the most realistic science-fiction-style robots, and they are phenomenal creations. Many of these robots are now used to <anchor>perform micro-surgeries</anchor> or assist individuals with disabilities. Sony, for example, released a robot capable of performing microsurgery on a corn kernel – these types of ingenious innovations and inventions are of tremendous value to us humans here on Earth.

# Sony’s careful robot is learning how to perform microsurgeries

It's still in development stage, but it's pretty impressive.

Running, jumping, and flying: welcome to the future of robotics.

* * *

A [robot](https://mashable.com/shows/strictly-robots) just performed microsurgery on a corn kernel, which could change the game for precision surgeries.

[Sony](https://mashable.com/search?query=Sony) has unveiled a prototype of a [microsurgery](https://mashable.com/video/mini-rcm-origami-robot-surgeon) assistance robot which can support surgeons operating on extremely small tissues, nerves, and veins.

The compact creation includes a miniature automatic instrument exchange, designed to reduce the number of interruptions and delays during surgery. The robot's precision control is further boosted by a lightweight, highly sensitive control device which reflects the delicate movements of human fingertips.

The prototype is also equipped with 1.3-type 4K [OLED Microdisplays](https://mashable.com/archive/oled-microdisplay), that let operators view high-definition images of the targeted area, and closely monitor movement of surgical instruments.

The prototype, tested by Aichi Medical University in Japan, is still at development stage and cannot yet be sold or offered, but Sony hopes that in the future, it can will improve microsurgery accuracy and effectiveness and provide assistance amid staff shortages currently faced by healthcare systems around the globe.
