The next 40 years? A robot that will arrive on a drone will do a hip surgery right in your bedroom (not on you, sorry).


Will it bring its own surgical linen, or is there some DARPA-funded cutting-edge laundry detergent research for after the procedure?


You won't need it, it'll be laparoscopic surgery that barely needs anaesthesia and leaves a hole like a flea bite that you stick a plaster on for a day or two.


This is exactly right.
