The Da Vinci robotic surgical system was developed and is marketed by Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (see the related link below)

According to one account, the original developer was a high functioning autistic and loved watching medical shows like Discovery health. He started drawing pictures of medical tools when he was about 12. At 15, he drew a design for something like that. His parents patented the design for it and then sold to some medical development company. Then when they were redesigning it a couple of years later, they actually sent him the design and paid him a massive consulting fee.
