Robotic heart surgeon

Robotic surgeonOne very lucky Australian lady has avoided having open-heart surgery, as her robotic operator needed just a 4cm incision to do its work.

Robotic Testing System

The roboTest F robotic testing system is designed for flexible specimens, such as films, textiles and fleece materials, but even metals andwires can be tested using the corresponding grips and tooling. The system allows testing to be carried out overnight and at weekends therebyreducing the need for shift working. In addition it is possible to carry out testing using unsupervised or relatively unskilled operators.Robotic testing systems simplify the processes required for quality management systems such as ISO 9001 because the testing sequence is pre-programmed, and not subject to human error. Results and long term statistics are also available in real-time helping to minimise communication inefficiencies between different production processes.

Clarinet Wins Robotic Orchestra Competition

Sasha writes "The Australian designed robotic clarinet beat out Dutch and Finnish entries this year at the robotic orchestra competition. The researchers don't expect to replace human musicians, but are instead interested in what makes the difference between playing music well and playing music poorly. There is also a video available of the performance."

ORLive Presents: Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy

On Thursday, August 14, watch a Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy recorded from University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The procedure will be performed by Vivian von Gruenigan, MD, and moderated by Robert DeBernardo, MD. Robotic-assisted hysterectomy provides patients with a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery time. During the webcast, viewers have the opportunity to e-mail the physicians directly with any questions they have about the procedure.

PLEO, Interactive ?Robotic launched in KSA

Samir Photographic Supplies (SPS) today launched PLEO – an interactive robotic pet – in KSA in a fun filled, interactive event held at Al Shallal Theme Park, Jeddah. The event saw media and guests attend the launch with their families, so their children could play & interact with PLEO, which acts, responds and behaves in a lifelike manner. The attendees enjoyed interacting with PLEO and children were especially thrilled and intrigued by the behavior of the Robot. Speaking at the launch, Mr. Omar Hindi, Marketing Director of SPS said: “PLEO has been received with unprecedented excitement across the world and it is set to revolutionize adult’s & children’s playtime everywhere. We are very happy to introduce this interactive robotic pet in Saudi Arabia as interacting with PLEO will enable children learn several new things.

Mars rover unleashes robotic arm

Washington - The Phoenix Mars Lander has released its robotic arm to begin prodding the Red Planet's surface to look for chemistry that could support life, NASA officials said Thursday. NASA officials hope the robotic arm can poke into the surface to substantiate evidence of ice or water in the northernmost areas of Mars that could have supported life. Chemical compositions can be analyzed aboard the craft and the results beamed back to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

Camerautomata Charlie: Image Digesting Robotic Duck

If documenting trips to faraway lands is beginning to take time away from actually enjoying them, then a robotic picture-taking duck may be just what you need. In an effort to "to liberate cameras from human operation," South Korean artist Taeyoon Choi created a traveling companion, "Camerautomata Charlie: Image Digesting Robotic Duck," that snaps photographs in response to other camera flashes and can print them on the spot or upload them to your favorite website using WiFi. The piece is being presented as part of a larger exhibit, "Tourists and Travelers," currently on display at Eyebeam Studios.

Students Build Robot Muffin Maker, Prompt Re-Write of Song

Do you know the Robotic Muffin Maker, the Robotic Muffin Maker, the Robotic Muffin Maker? Well: you do now. Built by a Industrial Electrical Technician students Carl Boucher and Dominic Dussault, there's almost no other info about the project. But no matter: forward to about 1:30, and check out the neat mini-industrial ballet that is this thing in action. And then fantasize about munching on its output— an endless (ok, sort of) supply of fresh-baked muffin. I want one. [Makezine]

Mars Lander's Robot Arm Shuts Down To Save Itself

Cowards Anonymous passes along a PCWorld article that begins, "The robotic arm on the Mars Lander found itself in a tough position over the weekend. After receiving instructions for a movement that would have damaged its wrist, the robotic arm recognized the problem, tried to rectify it and then shut down before it could damage itself, according to Ray Arvidson, a co-investigator for the Mars Lander's robotic arm team and a professor at Washington University in St. Louis."

NASA Tests Lunar Robots and Spacesuits on Earthly Moonscape

WASHINGTON, June 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Conditions on the moon will be harsher, but prototype NASA robotic vehicles braved sand storms and unprecedented temperature swings this month on sand dunes near Moses Lake, Wash., to prepare for future lunar expeditions. Teams from seven NASA centers and several universities conducted the tests from June 2-13. "The goal was to gain hands-on experience with specific technical challenges anticipated when humans return to the moon by 2020, begin to explore the lunar surface, and set up outposts," said Test Director Bill Bluethmann of NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. NASA's Human Robotic Systems Project, part of the agency's Exploration Technology Development Program, focused on human and robotic mobility systems for the moon, but also looked at communication and command and control syste
