“…The next big thing in the history of robots in the surgical field was the FDA approval of the AESOP 1000 (Automated Endoscopic System for Optimal Positioning by Computer Motion, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) as a camera holder (27) ( Figure 6). Actually, Computer Motion is the end result of conjoint efforts from NASA, the Stanford Research Institute and the US army.…”

A historic review of the main stages of evolution of the minimally-invasive techniques in thyroid surgery. The endoscopic era is divided into direct and indirect approaches. Examples are the minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) and the minimally invasive lateral approach. The indirect approach is divided into transaxillary and chest/breast incisions. A brief historic review of the advent of robots to the medical and mainly surgical field. And finally, an introduction to transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy.

“…22 Computer Motion Inc. (Santa Barbara, CA) was able to develop the first robotic arm approved by the FDA to hold an endoscope. 23 This system called AESOP (Automated Endoscopic System for Optimal Positioning) was a robotic arm with motorized joints controlled by the surgeon with hand and foot controls or through a speech recognition system. Early clinical use was reported 24 and the idea to use the same arm to drive surgical tools gave birth to the Zeus surgical system.…”
