Today, robotics is heavily relied on for both trivial and crucial tasks. Surgical operations require pinpoint accuracy and precision. In the United States during 2017, there were 693,000 robotic procedures conducted. 36 robotic surgeries at The Joint Commision received 34 reports of complications, 7 of which were due to hemorrhage caused by laceration. In this paper, through the STEAMS (Science, Technology, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Math, Statistics) approach, Mindstorm EV3 was utilized to develop a program that increases the precision in robotic movements. The program used a gyroscopic sensor to detect when the robot has an error by constantly reading the angle it is facing. The gyroscopic sensor is calibrated at start, and then reads the angle at which the robot is facing. Based on the amount of error/offsets in the angle, a proportional amount of power can be added to the motors to compensate for the change in angle and human error. The optimized robotic accuracy and stability through gyroscopic adjustments can be utilized for more complex procedures.
