Will robots carry out surgeries in the future? Mark Zuckerberg's AI platform can train models to perform complex movements

The possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) have always been far and beyond one can imagine.

Recently, Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg shared a glimpse way ahead into the future where robots can perform a number of complex tasks with ease. From smart prosthetics to carrying out complex surgeries, the robot will be able to learn the skill with help from Meta's new AI platform.

Tagging his social media post as 'interesting', the 38-year-old shared that Meta's AI team has created a new platform - MyoSuite. This AI platform can help build realistic musculoskeletal simulations in models that run up to 4,000 times faster than state-of-the-art systems.


With the help of MyoSuite, models can perform complex movements like twirling a pen or rotating a key.

In the 24-second video shared by Zuckerberg, the model can be seen drawing a thumbs-up gesture and Baoding balls (rotating walnut-sized balls in hand that were invented in the Ming Dynasty to improve soldiers' hand strength and hand dexterity).

"This research could accelerate the development of prosthetics, physical rehab, and surgery techniques," the Facebook founder said in his post.

Talking about his favourite subject, Zuckerberg even said that this technology can help people in developing more realistic avatars for the metaverse.

"We're going to open source these models so researchers can use them to advance the field further," he concluded.

The Facebook CEO has made big plans around the metaverse by spending billions of dollars.

Meta opened its first retail store in the US on April 9 that will sell its AR-VR headset Quest 2, Quest 2 accessories and Portal smart video devices.
