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
The ratio of guide dogs to blind people in China is roughly one service pooch for every 40,000 people. Researchers are currently developing a six-legged, AI-enhanced robodog to close the gap and safely guide users to their destinations.Continue Reading… Continue reading Six-legged robot looks to replace guide dogs for the blind
