Abstract
Over the past thirty years, the presence of surgical robotics has increased dramatically. This type of robot is projected to increased surgical dexterity, decreased recovery time, and overall fewer complications. While surgical robotics is only in its beginnings, it promises to change the medical landscape so that surgeries can be carried out with more precision and accuracy. Many in the medical field are excited by these new developments, as it would lead to better patient care and more successful surgeries. However, there are those who are not convinced that soft robotics is safe for widespread use, due to the current limitations of the technology and materials.
