In a series of videos, surgeons at the Swedish Medical Center in Seattle present their skills with the DaVinci surgical robot in novel ways, including folding a paper plane, lacing an American football and painting fingernails.

A very creative way to communicate the precision of robotic surgery to the public. You can find all the videos here.

  I love the various – un-medical related – things they are doing with the DaVinci. While many say it may be pointless, I think it shows off the high capabilities of the robot, as well as the many possibilities for future uses.

  But, will it blend…
