Hitachi develops robotic arm equipped with endoscope

TOKYO, Japan - A Hitachi Ltd. official demonstrates how to operate a new robotic arm equipped with an endoscope at a news conference May 22. Hitachi said its robotic arm can be easily adjusted by surgeons while they are operating. The new arm means surgeons will no longer have to rely on assistants to adjust or tilt the endoscope for them, thereby increasing their precision, as it is operated via a controller that can be attached to any surgical apparatus, Hitachi said.
