Dr Chong Yu Lam has been a urologist for 16 years and leads the hospital's Division of surgery .

He uses a surgical robotic system called da Vinci to help him perform complex surgeries in a minimally invasive way.

While robotic surgeries have existed for more than two decades , it's still a novelty in the field of medicine.

However, robots have been on factory floors for even longer, and they're getting smarter.

While Hyundai uses smart robots to automate manufacturing, what about smart robots at home?.

Dr. Daniel Ulam is a Singapore surgeon who uses a da Vinci robot to perform surgery on a man diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Surgeons and nurses in Singapore are trained in countries like Japan and the US to operate and troubleshoot the robots.

Ulam credits much of the heavy lifting to his team of nurses.

In the same building a robotic arm is being tested to move car parts around the factory floor.

Robotic surgery or any new technology platform that provides improved visibility, improved dexterity and precision will always have a place in surgery.
