These regulations are setting the stage for medical robots which I have no doubt will be updated at an ever-accelerating rate. The range of autonomy is already increasing and with the rising cost of medical provides the inputs that this is just the very beginning of a coming revolution/evolution of medical robotics. The only question in what areas robotics will be equal or superior to a doctor and in what areas. If the US doesn't set up a good framework, I see the Chinese taking the lead in this fast moving and growing market on a worldwide scale. Any thoughts, comments or additions sought and welcome.
