Humanoid robots controlled by surgeons did world-first operation on live pigs

Insider Brief Teleoperated humanoid robots completed two surgeries in a preclinical trial, a first step toward using more mobile and flexible robots in operating rooms where surgical access is limited. The proof-of-concept experiment, published in the July 8 issue of Nature, was conducted by engineers and surgeons at UC San Diego to test whether humanoid […]

The post UC San Diego humanoid robots perform live surgery in world first appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Two humanoid robots controlled from afar performed two surgeries at the University of California, San Diego. According to a study published July 8 in Nature, this is the first time that general-purpose humanoid machines have been used on living subjects. The outcome is important for the many people around the world who can’t reliably get in touch with surgeons. Small robots that a doctor can control remotely could be used in places where specialized surgical systems can’t reach. In the first surgery, a robot and a real surgeon worked together. The surgeon helped take out the gallbladder with the machine. The second method went even further. There was no one at the table when the two humanoid robots worked together. The researchers say that both surgeries were done on large mammals that are not primates. The engineers and surgeons who worked on the study called their robots “Su

Realbotix announced it has partnered with Bloom Procurement Services to pilot companion robots in care settings in Northeast England. The pilot will use robots to provide companionship, cognitive stimulation, emotional support and routine wellbeing check-ins for elderly residents, according to the Las Vegas company. Realbotix stressed the robots are designed to supplement human caregivers, not […]

Race to develop ‘embodied AI’ focuses on creating dextrous hands to transform humanoid robots from gimmicks into useful products Human hands – nimble, nerve-filled appendages that are the most flexible part of the human skeleton – are exceptionally complex. Many tasks that most people can do largely without thinking, from tying a pair of shoelaces to buttoning up a shirt, in fact require a complex set of neurological instructions and precise choreography. In thousands of years of human history, no machine has been able to truly replicate human’s greatest tool. But now, as artificial intelligence (AI) races forwards, some companies think they are close to surpassing this final but most difficult hurdle in robotics. Most of them are in China.
