Reply to comment by jenkinsleroi in "Robotic surgery is a game changer for minimally invasive surgery" - More and more surgeons are using robotic surgical systems. Here’s why. 🤖 by tonymmorley
Yes, numerous. It's been a thing for about 15 years.

Which ones?

It’s been in knee surgery for a long time (mako robotic assisted system) and newer minimally invasive robots like CMR surgical’s are including haptic feedback.

Less than ten years ago there was nothing but the DaVinci, and it still does not have haptics. Which systems do you know of?

You are correct, anybody that says otherwise is wrong. The DaVinci system does not currently have haptics and never has had haptics. No robotic platform does. The technology is there, I've seen it, I've tried it, but it's not ready for public use. The instruments are more costly when haptics is added in and surgeons aren't willing to pay the additional cost at this time. In the cost is a dramatically decreased, it will absolutely be a thing.

You are fundamentally incorrect, there were a dozen vendors by 2010.
