The robot will have functions like fetching medicine and food, sounding alarms in case of utility leakages, sending texts or videos […] Read More
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
Exoskeletons allow the wearers carry much heavier loads than a normal human capacity allow while performing a wide range of movements at the same time. You have probably seenthe news about military versions being developed before. Now it seems, Japanese are developing these suits for everyday use. The principal mechanism to make these suits work involves sensors at each joint getting data from the wearer’s […] 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
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
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
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. For more, please visit the link […] Read More
