All robots in healthcare aren't autonomous. Robot in healthcare is a tool with operator. Here the operator is a dentist -- living failsafe switch in case stuff goes wrong.
I read the article and this one seems to not have an operator.
(implying this one is not human-controlled, I think)
I admit I did not watch the video though.
I'll just give you an example: just because CNC machine doesn't "need" a person to function, for some reason there are no operator-less stations where you can just upload AI generated design and pickup your part later
So even when machine is claimed to be "fully-autonomous" there's a guy with controller, watching and making decisions -- just like a surgeon/dentist would
