Medical robots using the latest technology always impress me. Although I am not fond of watching real surgery, these two video show the Intuitive Surgical's "da Vinci" robot being used to fold a tiny airplane and origami crane are quite impressive. The dexterity of the robot's interface and effortless movement reassure me that my future operations may be more successful than I was thinking.
The da Vinci has a high definition 3D display capable of 10x magnification. The instrumentation has 7 degrees of movement and nearly eliminate all tremors, produced my human hands, providing fluid motion. Just watching the videos show how lifelike and precise the arms operate.
Fun fact, these da Vinci machines cost approximately $1.5 million US Dollars. It better amazingly fold paper.

I taught myself origami in the 4th grade, so I pitted my skills vs the da Vinci. (vs crane folding video above.)
