Robots in surgeries help surgeons to do less and less invasive operations all the time…A new robotic snake developed by an American company called cardiorobotics, is a new way of doing that.Just like the recent development of robot snakes in search and rescue missions, this device is a flexible and strong enough robot snake that can crawl inside your body and reach wherever it takes […] Read More

The robotic knee developed by a company called Tibion in Mountain View CA, helps patients with walking difficulty to regain their normal walking ability by providing constant assistance and resistance as necessary and also supplying feedback data to the brain. The device is lightweight enough for home use and primarily developed for patients with who are dealing with a neurosurgery, stroke or MS. For more, […] Read More

To be able to tend the wounds of a soldier injured in the battlefield as soon as possible and as good as possible is critical. With the new technology under current development, the robot enables the doctors in far locations to be able to tend to the soldiers wounds. Instruments such as on board stethoscope, ultrasound probe and more are under development. It is currently […] Read More

Equipped with 3D laser scanners and long range planning algorithms the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is able to detect objects as far as 150m away.The vehicle can make its own map of the environment and detect small objects such as thin electrical wires. The helicopter can fly as low as only 5-10 meters above ground and can climb up to a speed of 10m/sec. For […] Read More

The new robot that fills prescriptions makes huge savings possible while reducing errors at the same time and the filling operations faster.The hospital which has started to use the robot, expects yearly cost savings of $550,000. In medicine, especially for surgeries, the robots are starting to find wider applications every day, with their more precise and faster operating abilities by helping surgeons, continuously reducing the […] Read More

The new wheelchair robot currently under development by MIT researchers, is able to take the person to the desired location autonomously, upon receiving a verbal command.The robot is first taught about the places verbally, when visiting those places for the first time, and then is able to find its own way back to those locations. The robot does this by creating a model of its […] Read More

The contract is awarded for miscellaneous needs for equipment and parts as army’s need for robots grows. The robots that are taking role in combats in Iraq and Afghanistan have so far successfully completed their missions while keeping the soldiers at a safe distance from harm’s way. The most important missions by robots include bomb diffusing and reconnaissance. Lately in development is the transportation missions. […] Read More

This robot which resembles nothing different than a bug, is actually designed to crawl inside your body under the doctor’s direction to take pictures of what is needed. It is the later version of previous pillcams. Coming more in the near future is, parts of robots that are so small that they can be easily swallowed and once inside the body, they assemble together to […] Read More

British scientists are developing low cost yet capable autonomous robots that are highly needed for frontline soldiers. Currently the robots like such as bomb diffusers require special training to use and excessive deployment are cost prohibitive. By utilizing the processing power done at the center rather than the robot itself, and enabling robot with enough autonomous capability, major obstacles are overcome. See link below for […] Read More

The robot assisted procedure used by US urological surgeons was a success. With the help of robots, there is less blood loss during the procedure and a chance of faster recovery afterwards. It lets more people benefit from a minimally invasive approach. The surgeons tested the procedure on seven patients, and recorded the largest known success in this procedure.
