Visitors will have the chance to sit at the operating console, steer the robotic arms and fully experience what it feels like to perform robotic surgery. Swedish surgeons and medical staff will be on-hand to give demonstrations and provide information about the real world application of robotics in the field of medicine. Student groups from Mountlake Terrace High School, King’s Elementary and King’s High School will also be in attendance to experience the real life application of robotics in medicine.
