Raven, a mobile surgical robot developed by the University of Washington, will operate in an underwater capsule off the coast of Florida, guided by surgeons in Seattle. The 12-day mission tests current technology for sending remote-controlled surgical robotic systems into space.
Researchers have developed a new robotic technique for performing coronary artery bypass surgery, which appears to be safe and effective. The procedure uses a small tubelike instrument and robotic arms to minimize scarring and promote faster recovery times.
A Johns Hopkins University engineer has developed a microchip-based robotic vision system that enables toy cars to follow lines while avoiding obstacles. The technology could also be used in medical systems, manufacturing plants, and surveillance systems.
A team of engineers has developed a theory and algorithm that enables robots to adapt to changing conditions, solving a two-decade-old problem in intelligent control. The Max-Plus Algebra Model integrates low-level data sensing with high-level planning and decision-making processes, allowing robots to halt activity when necessary and r...
Researchers are testing a robotic port-access technique to assist in bypass surgery, aiming to reduce scarring and hospital stays. The technique uses miniature instruments inserted through small incisions, allowing for precise movements and real-time monitoring.
