Sophisticated Heart Surgeries with Robotic Support
Friday, May 7th, 2010Doctors have carried out a life-saving heart procedure with the help of a sophisticated robot. Cardiologists in Leicester were the first in the world to use a new robot that practically fucntions as the doctor’s right arm. The procedure involved passing a thin metal wire along the patient’s blood vessels and into the heart.If the muscle misfires electrical signals, it would raise the risk of a heart attack or stroke, eventually complicating the entire operation, but this could be made easy using the machine. The current robot system is much simpler to use than previous ones and doctors can be trained in just 15 minutes instead of several weeks.The system costs is expected to be around £350,000.
The silent rising army of the machines!
Sunday, April 18th, 2010The world robot population is on the rise. Today we the robot population stands at 8.6 Million. We should observe a calm but steady rise in the numbers. The data is illustrated below.
Currently the robots play a major role as industry robots and service robots. The industry robots includes welding systems, assembly manipulators, and other heavy, expensive operation oriented machines. The service robots consists of professional service robots like surgical systems, poultry robots, etc and personal service robots like vacuum cleaners, etc.
By 2011, the world’s industrial robot population is expected to rise to 1.2 million. Which areas will these robots cater to, and how the machine-to-human balance will change, remains to be seen. Though the robots are not readily visible, and are yet to become a part of our everyday life, the machines are rising in numbers.
Introducing Simon.
Sunday, April 18th, 2010Simon is know to learn new tasks faster. Lets take a peek at how he does it in the following video.
Its easy to imagine such machines at home to aid residents. Having a machine in kitchen to help to cook or next to a closet to arrange/ handle clothes management. These machines are a clear sign of what to expect in the near future.
