Cincinnati Surgeon Leads First Test of Mobile Robotic Surgery
A team of military, telecommunications and surgical experts led by University of Cincinnati (UC) faculty are using an unmanned aircraft and sophisticated communication tools to take the next step toward making "telesurgery" a reality. view more (2006-06-06)
Robotic technique shows promise in weight-loss surgery, Stanford study finds
Surgeons at the Stanford University School of Medicine have developed a safe and efficient way to use a surgical robot to perform gastric bypass operations. view more (2005-08-16)
As robots learn to imitate
Can robots learn to communicate by studying and imitating humans' gestures? That's what MIRROR's researchers aimed to find out by studying how infants and monkeys learn complex acts such as grasping and transferring it to robots. view more (2004-12-22)
Dressman - the ironing robot
The main objective of the Dressman robot is to dry and press shirts. On placing a damp shirt on the ironing figure, this dummy inflates with hot air in its interior, and thus puffs the shirt up, removing creases drying the garment (it has to be previously wet and undergone a spin-dry in a washing machine). The device has a heater box inside with... view more... (2004-05-27)
Engineers create mathematical method to design better robots, structures
Mechanical and civil engineers have created a new mathematical method to design better structures, machines and versatile computer-controlled robots called "robot manipulators." view more (2006-01-12)
A walking robot goes mountaineering
The human gait is a marvel of coordination. All aspects of movement control - from the angle of the knee joints to the momentum of the hip up to the balance point of the torso - need to be meticulously adjusted. view more (2007-07-13)
Robotic assisted kidney cancer surgery proves to be beneficial to patients
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers find that outcomes of robotic assisted kidney cancer surgery, when performed by experienced surgeons at high volume centers, prove more beneficial to patients when compared to open surgery. view more (2009-04-27)
Britain takes a trip to the Red Planet
A model of Beagle 2 is on public show at the Royal Society's annual summer science exhibition, New Frontiers in Science, on 16 and 17 June. Members of the scientific and engineering team will be on hand to discuss the problems of building this sophisticated robotic package run on only the power of a light bulb, and to explore the implications of... view more...

New Surgery Improves Head & Neck Cancer Treatment
A new surgical procedure for head and neck cancer at the University of Alabama at Birmingham offers improved accuracy for surgeons and reduced post-operative pain for patients. view more (2008-04-30)
Making robotic movement of goods more 'pallet-able'
Robots running amok and destroying property may be a staple in science fiction films, but they aren't welcome in factories, warehouses and other places where automatic guided vehicle (AGV) forklifts are used. view more (2006-11-13)
Research teams successfully operate multiple biomedical robots from numerous locations
Using a new software protocol called the Interoperable Telesurgical Protocol, nine research teams from universities and research institutes around the world recently collaborated on the first successful demonstration of multiple biomedical robots operated from different locations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. SRI International operated its M7... view more... (2009-09-18)
Robotic Surgery Lowers Risk of a Rare but Serious Complication of Gastric Bypass
The use of a robot to assist with the most commonly performed weight-loss surgery appears to significantly lower a patient's risk of developing a rare but serious complication, according to a study published in the most recent edition of the Journal of Robotic Surgery. view more (2008-09-25)
Assistive robot adapts to people, new places
In the futuristic cartoon series "The Jetsons," a robotic maid named Rosie whizzed around the Jetsons' home doing household chores—cleaning, cooking dinner and washing dishes. view more (2007-04-12)
Robot-assisted, laparoscopic surgery for vaginal vault prolapse found to be effective
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that laparoscopic surgery assisted by a surgical robot to fix vaginal vault prolapse, a collapse of the vagina that can occur after a hysterectomy, is an effective option to the traditional, open surgical repair when measured at least a year after the surgery. view more (2006-07-24)
MIT robotic therapy holds promise for cerebral palsy
Over the past few years, MIT engineers have successfully tested robotic devices to help stroke patients learn to control their arms and legs. Now, they're building on that work to help children with cerebral palsy. view more (2009-05-21)
3-D ultrasound scanner could guide robotic surgeries
Duke University engineers have shown that a three-dimensional ultrasound scanner they developed can successfully guide a surgical robot. view more (2006-10-31)

TECNALIA Technological Corporation has introduced innovative robots at Euskotren's station in Atxuri (Bilbao) and which are mobile, multifunctional, collaborative, autonomous and polyvalent, suitable for a wide range of work from street cleaning and rubbish collection to accompanying elderly people. view more (2009-09-21)
Lunar Prospecting Robot To Be Field Tested on Hawaii's Mauna Kea
The cool, rocky slopes of Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano that is Hawaii's highest mountain, will serve as a stand-in for the moon as researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute, NASA and other organizations test a robot designed for lunar prospecting. view more (2008-10-15)
MIT develops 'Anklebot' for stroke patients
Clinical trials have already shown that an MIT robotic arm can help stroke patients regain movement faster. Now MIT pioneers in the field of robotic therapy are hoping a robotic gym full of machines targeted at different parts of the body will significantly improve stroke patients' movement in arms, wrists, hands, legs and ankles. view more (2005-07-06)
