Emma, Penelope... Stop giving human female names to ugly non-humanoid robots! Why does that happen??? Are the people who make these things just huge losers and don't get out enough? What happened to product names from decades ago that say exactly what something does? I'd be much happier with Robo-Scalpel-Grabber 9000 or something stupid like that than Penelope. Come on!
Now that I got that out... This seems like something that could have been done a long time ago and doesn't particularly impress me. I guess it's helpful because it wasn't already there, but I see little innovation here. But that's just me, and I'm definitely not a surgeon. I hope they find this helpful and it saves a few extra lives.
