The evolution of robots in surgical practice is an intriguing story that spans cultures, continents and centuries. The idea of reproducing himself with the use of a mechanical robot has been in man's imagination in the last 3000 years. However, the use of robots in medicine has only 30 ...
The material has been developed jointly by MIT and Stony Brook University and promises to allow robots of the future transform between hard and soft states, which would make them ideal for using in surgery. It’s more than a bit creepy imagining a robot being able to slither through your bo...

Projects Agency (DARPA) during the cold war, the same agency that was instrumental in developing the technology behind today’s surgical robots.1An example of robotics in trauma, vascular, and hand surgery was seen on the big screen in 1980, when a robot performed Luke Skywalker’s ...
carbon atoms arranged in a diamondoid form are likely to be used to build nano-robot exteriors. The likelihood of the body's immune system being activated will be reduced by highly smooth surfaces, allowing the nanorobots to operate without hindrance. Depending on the purpose, the nanorobot may...
Since 2000 more than 4 million robotic-assisted surgeries have taken place across multiple medical specialties including Cardiovascular, Neurology, and Orthopedics. Until the launch of Yomi, the first and only FDA cleared robot-assisted dental surgery system, dentistry has not been ab...
Would you be happy to be operated on by a surgical robot, being controlled solely by artificial intelligence (AI)? Or, how would you feel being stitched up by a robot, which is remotely operated by a surgeon on a different continent?
Liu et al. (2016) introduce in their work the “collision-free reachable workspace”, where the optimization method to find optimal trajectories takes into account the workspace of the robot used by including it kinematics in the computation. A similar work is proposed in Belbachir et al. (...
Physicians are often the source of innovation in biotechnology which leads to the development of new medical products. However, they are commonly confused by certain misconceptions and a lack of information in the professional literature when proceeding with the development of a new idea. The initial...
“Military cybernetic surgeon (a surgeon specializing in cybernetics) Sean Briston becomes humanity’s last hope as he is swept up in an interplanetary adventure in which ultimately he must personally assassinate the queen of the Dravin, a robotic alien race that has been attacking Earth for the ...
