Nintendo has reportedly prepared an unprecedented launch plan for its highly-anticipated gaming console Switch 2. In an attempt to avoid a shortage of stocks on launch day, the Kyoto-based company intensified its efforts to increase production, Metro UK reported, citing a source. While the successor to the Switch is set to be announced before next April, reports have said that Nintendo began production in September of this year. Now, an insider, who posted alleged drawings of the Switch 2 last month, suggested that the company will have two times more Switch 2 units available at launch in comparison to the original gaming console in 2017.

WATCH: AI trained robot mimic expert surgeons

Image
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have successfully trained a surgical robot using imitation learning, allowing it to perform surgical procedures as skilfully as experienced human surgeons. This breakthrough eliminates the need to manually program robots for each specific movement during a medical procedure, moving the field of robotic surgery closer to true autonomy. In the future, robots could potentially perform complex surgeries independently. The research team used imitation learning to teach the da Vinci Surgical System robot three fundamental tasks: handling a needle, lifting tissue, and stitching. By feeding the model hundreds of videos from surgeries performed by human doctors, the robot learned to replicate these tasks with remarkable precision. Unlike traditional programming methods, which require hand-coding every step of a procedure, this approach enables the robot to learn from demonstration videos, significantly speeding up the process of training.
