Collaborate Disseminate
It takes years of intense study and a steady hand for humans to perform surgery, but robots might have an easier time picking it up with today’s AI technology.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, TechnologyTags: Artificial Intelligence, Surgery, Surgica… Continue reading Robot learns to perform surgical tasks expertly just by watching videos
If you’re ever faced with trying to pick up a grain of rice with a pair of chopsticks, spare a thought for the scientists behind this latest innovation, which has been called “a medical breakthrough on the verge of happening.” They’ve painstakingly bui… Continue reading Grain-sized soft robot delivers medications, guided by magnetic fields
At its core, this system developed at Yamagata University in Japan uses a “simple” cross-spherical gear paired with a monopole gear to control pitch, roll, and yaw. Essentially, the same full range of movement you’d see in a rotator cuff (the shoulder)… Continue reading Watch: Incredibly versatile active ball-joint gear is mind-bending
Nightmare fuel? Maybe – but in a historic moment for the dental profession, an AI-controlled autonomous robot has performed an entire procedure on a human patient for the first time, about eight times faster than a human dentist could do it.Continue Re… Continue reading Fully-automatic robot dentist performs world’s first human procedure
Sony has shown off its new surgical robot doing some super-precise work sewing up a tiny slit in a corn kernel. It’s the first machine of its kind that auto-switches between its different tools, and has successfully been tested in animal surgery.Contin… Continue reading Watch: Sony’s new microsurgery robot stitches up a corn kernel
Among the more than 8,000 lb (3,600 kg) of cargo that blasted off from Cape Canaveral on the 30th of January, bound for the International Space Station, were two firsts: the world’s first metal 3D printer designed especially for use in orbit and the fi… Continue reading Space firsts: Metal 3D printer & surgical robot on their way to the ISS
Robotic surgical systems such as the da Vinci X are very impressive, with their two arms that are controlled by the surgeon’s two hands. An experimental new system takes things even further, though, by adding two more arms controlled by the user’s feet… Continue reading Four-armed robotic surgical system is controlled by hands and feet
When someone has experienced a stroke or aneurysm, they may require a surgical procedure known as an endovascular intervention. A new MIT-designed robotic system could ensure that they receive the treatment quickly, even if the physician is nowhere nea… Continue reading MIT surgical robot could let surgeons remotely treat stroke victims
Researchers at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory have developed a handheld robot that can help minimally trained responders to control severe internal bleeding in victims of traumatic injury, by helping them insert a needle and catheter into a major blood vesse… Continue reading Handheld robot uses AI to help first responders stem bleeding
While robotic laparoscopic surgical systems do make certain procedures safer and less invasive, those systems are still operated by human surgeons. Now, however, a surgical robot has performed a delicate operation entirely on its own.
