The da Vinci Surgical System is used in this promotional video to stitch a grape back together.
The technology is designed to help perform delicate, minimally invasive surgery by enabling surgeons to perform delicate and complex operations through a few small incisions.
The system was developed by the American company Intuitive Surgical and is used in some 200,000 surgeries around the world, most commonly for hysterectomies and prostate removals.
