(2012) The first license for a self-driven car is issued in Nevada. The car is a Toyota Prius modified with technology developed by Google. (2016) Sophia, a humanoid robot dubbed the first robot citizen, is created by Hanson Robotics. The robot is capable of facial recognition, verbal com...
When it comes to the realm of machine tools, laser cutting machines have established a notable presence. These devices leverage the immense power of lasers to cut materials, offering unparalleled precision. A high-power laser beam is directed at the material which then either melts, burns, vapori...
A CNC machine is a mechanical deviceadapted to perform specific tasks based on acomputer program. Such computer-controlled machines have been with us for nearly 70 years. In 1952, American engineer John Parsons developed the world’s first machine tool controlled by punch cards. This was for th...
A microcontroller is embedded inside of a system to control a single function in a device. It uses its central processor to interpret data it receives from its I/O peripherals. The information that the microcontroller receives is temporarily stored in its data memory, where the processor accesses...
The device itself is designed to be powered by a rechargeable battery implanted under the skin in the chest, like a pacemaker. And from there, data could be transmitted wirelessly to a computer outside the body. Unlike other needle-like electrodes that penetrate brain tissue, Rapoport says his...
Demonstration of the perforation-type anchors to cover the facial device (Shoji Takeuchi’s research group at the University of Tokyo) (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson) Building a face that can smile One of the coolest demonstrations of this technology is a robotic face covered with living tissue th...
Despite the media reports and governments promoting tourism as a fundamental right for everyone, traveling is still not accessible for disabled people. Thi
An exception to the limit applies for passengers traveling with prosthetic limbs orassistive devices such as walkers and wheelchairs. If an airline loses a passenger's assistive device on a domestic flight, the company is liable for the full cost of the device, even when it exceeds $3,800. ...
They can shape a bone to precisely fit a prosthetic with the accuracy a human never could. The Da Vinci robotic surgical system is already used in 200,000 operations a year but the onset of superfast 5G connections will soon allow remote surgery, and what once was considered a novelty ...
What are the basic features of a plasmid vector? What are the major malaria control strategies? What factors are considered before an ambulatory assistive device is prescribed? What are the four phases of activities of pharmacokinetics? What features of a drug's action may make its pharmacokinetic...
