Humanoid robots could take on low-risk operating room tasks before assisting surgical teams

A new perspective proposes a staged framework for introducing humanoid robots into operating rooms, beginning with laboratory testing and low-risk perioperative tasks. The authors argue that humanoids could support supplies, equipment, room turnover, and selected nursing functions, but autonomous clinical use remains premature and requires rigorous validation, governance, and human oversight.
