Machines can't replicate human image recognition, yet
While computers can replicate many aspects of human behavior, they do not possess our ability to recognize distorted images, according to a team of Penn State researchers. view more (2009-09-10)
Robot improves suture proficiency more rapidly for surgeons inexperienced in laparoscopic techniques
New research published in the April issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons suggests that, among surgeons inexperienced in laparoscopic techniques, closing incisions using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) requires less time to learn and results in improved outcomes compared with suturing done via traditional,... view more...

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)
Robotic whiskers can sense three-dimensional environment
Many mammals use their whiskers to explore their environment and to construct a three-dimensional image of their world. Rodents, for example, use their whiskers to determine the size, shape and texture of objects, and seals use their whiskers to track the fluid wakes of their prey. view more (2006-10-09)

Keyhole Surgery For Colorectal Cancer Offers Same Prognosis As Conventional Surgery (p 1187)
Laparoscopy ('keyhole surgery') for colorectal cancer could be the future treatment of choice after results of a study from Hong Kong in this week's issue of THE LANCET show how it is associated with a similar 5-year survival outcome and more favourable recovery time than conventional surgery. Colorectal cancer is one of the commonest forms of... view more... (2004-04-07)
