Practicing in a surgeon's studiocurrently surgical robots are controlled by a human operator and do not perform procedures autonomously.
While Lee's robot may never be put to work in an operating room it and other robots like it could one day help researchers to design fully autonomous robotic surgeons.
In addition to teaching the robot to paint autonomously Lee also explored the idea of using his robot as a training tool for surgeons who need practice operating a Da vinci surgical arm.
At the Wake Forest Medical center doctors use replica bodies to help train surgeons to use the Da vinci system Lee said.
These replicas are compared pretty expensive to my robotic arm which cost around $1500. This April Lee will represent Wake Forest at the ACC Meeting of the Minds an event where outstanding undergraduate researchers from each ACC university gather at one member university to present their research either verbally or as a poster.
Working with Dr. Hamilton on my robot has been a great opportunity and there are definitely still a lot of things we can still learn from it Lee said.

Study author Dr Gabriele Macho examined the diet of Paranthropus boisei nicknamed Nutcracker Man because of his big flat molar teeth and powerful jaws through studying modern-day baboons
Dr Macho's study finds that baboons today eat large quantities of C4 tiger nuts
Dr Macho's study is based on the assumption that baboons intuitively select food according to their needs.
Dr Macho modified the findings of the previous study on baboons by Stuart Altmann (1998) on how long it took the year-old baboons to dig up tiger nuts
Dr Macho also factored in the likely calorie intake that would be needed by a big-brained human relative.
Dr Macho suggests that hominins'teeth suffered abrasion and wear and tear due to these starches. The study finds that baboons'teeth have similar marks giving clues about their pattern of consumption.
Dr Macho from the School of Archaeology at Oxford university said:''I believe that the theory--that Nutcracker Man lived on large amounts of tiger nuts-helps settle the debate about what our early human ancestor ate.
