fascinating
it's amazing how well the operation seems to cope with what must be a fair bit of variability in size. the stuff at 5 minutes looks pretty fiddly and i found it disturbingly easy to imagine myself in themachine having the base of my spine cut away. :D

If you look early in the video
You see 'Warning X-ray' - this is a CT scan - like you get in hospital, although probably higher dose as subsequent cancer isn't really so much of an issue.
Slightly after that, the robot picks up a halved carcass, and then moves it through a red beam, before backing off, rotating 90 degrees and repeating.
This is to build up a 3d model of the outside using a vision system pointed at that beam.
