This robot has a VR trainer so you could even practice at home

It is a modular unit. You have the endoscope (camera) plus as many arms as you need which is typically two or three. It is smaller and portable so you can move it easily between theatres or even different hospitals.

New robot. Presumably a Da Vinci could do the same procedure the article isn't clear. There are a lot of hospitals Da Vinci wouldn't be suitable for though as you essentially need to build an operating theatre around one.

Versius arms are draped. Obviously the instruments need to be sterilised but you have multiple sets of them since they are consumables.
