Abstract
Though different from how we think of them today, “robots” have been assisting doctors with surgical procedures since the early 1900s. This artifact takes the shape of a timeline, beginning with the dawn of surgical robots in 1908 and ending with the current state of the art for robotic surgical devices and a look into the future of the field.

A Timeline of Surgical Robots
Though different from how we think of them today, “robots” have been assisting doctors with surgical procedures since the early 1900s. This artifact takes the shape of a timeline, beginning with the dawn of surgical robots in 1908 and ending with the current state of the art for robotic surgical devices and a look into the future of the field.
