Is your end goal to create singular robot that can perform all varieties of surgery? I never understood that to have been the design intent of the Davinci. My assumption was that the development of care using such a robot would eventually provide the invaluable resource of expert surgical care irrespective of you local. Who cares if it takes a specific robot to do each specific surgery? (Being fastidious here) But Fill the room with 100 robots and still all you have to do is save 1 Jeff Bezos, 1 bill gates, 1 Warren Buffett, 1 Elon musk and the it’s a net positive to the gdp.

No, our idea is that there needs to be at lease 2 kinds of robots. One for soft tissue and one for more “dramatic” ortho-type surgery. But confirmation for X-ray guided procedures is a must https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tftObMt18OY
