New AI Robot ready to replace Ht docs??

[VicTNYC]

Looks as if the company behind the ARTAS robot has come out with a newer smaller, sleeker 2.0 version .... that now does implanting as well.

No.... the answer is no. 

 

Also, in general, when reading a headline in the news that is posed as a question, the answer is almost always no...because if it weren't, it would made as a statement.

I lol'd after the first result they showed

From what I heard, many of the doctors recommended on this site that purchased artas initially (H&W, Rahal, Mohebi) no longer use it. I think that should tell you something. Please, to any newbie reading this if you are considering artas, please reconsider.

 

Also, I dont think many people know this but the device was FDA cleared for only black or brown hair that is straight.

I wouldn’t consider Artas at this point either, nor would I recommend it to anyone. 

I do think it is possible, however, that robotic technology will continue to improve and may eventually be better than the human hand. Consider tasks like making incisions. Robots should be able to control angle, depth, and spacing better than people. I’m not saying it’s there yet, but I do think someday it could be.

I wonder which will happen first, robotic technology improves to rival the top doctors, or the development and commercialization of hair cloning/duplication technology?

I agree @Spanker

I just find it interesting that the company keeps flushing money into this.

I wouldn’t go with ARTAS either nor recommend it, not even the “new” 2.0 version.

It has many hurdles to clear and probably another decade or more of refinement before it can compare to the skill and artistry of a human professional experienced surgeon, if that.

I’m wagering that safe scalp to different scalp transfer of grafts is more of a reality in the near future than cloning or great robotic results.

Thank you.....NO.  I’ll take my 7,125 grafts all extracted and placed by the hand of Dr. Vories.  I believe the Artas Robot uses a relatively large punch size as well.

Well said....Spanker and others.
