  I know this question has been unanswered for a while, so I thought I’d answer. Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer to your question, as I don’t work on robots or cancer! However, robots can be used in the lab to do monotonous or repetitive tasks consistently and accurately e.g. staining slides with cells or tissue samples attached to them.

There is a field of reinforcement learning and control systems – they help to cut samples, do surgeries and etc. However, check out this article on how Pigeons can help – Pigeons (Columba livia) as Trainable Observers of Pathology and Radiology Breast Cancer Images
