Robots in the future will be able to help human beings in a large number of ways. One of these will be to help stroke patients with their physical therapy. In experimental research scientists assigned 10 stroke patients to robot-assisted therapy, and 10 to a more traditional physical therapy program that included occupational therapy techniques.
MountainView Hospital has introduced a robotic surgery program at its premises by installing the advanced da Vinci Si HD Surgical System. Surgery assisted by a robotic system requires minimum incision and is effective in treating a host of medical conditions such as colon, throat, prostrate and gynaecologic cancer.
China Medical Technologies and Leica Biosystems enter into a sales, research and development collaboration for the development and marketing of automated fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) kits that will be used with Leica BOND systems.
Restoration Robotics, Inc., a California based robotics firm said that it had raised $41 million in a Series C financing round for its Artas system. Restoration Robotics has created a high-tech treatment for transplanting hair follicles that involves a robotic arm controlled by a surgeon working from a computer.
Precision Optics Corporation has signed a deal with Intuitive Surgical, Inc for a $2.5 million patent sale. The company which manufactures advanced optical instruments in Gardner, sold issued and non-expired patents including pending patent applications to the surgical robotics firm in California.
The National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF/MED) had invited Dr. David Samadi to participate in the 10 day residential program organised for outstanding high school students from the greater tri-state area.
Research work at the University of Tennessee has yielded the discovery of the behavioural pattern of a pathogen that attacks the small intestine in human beings, which is an inspiration for designing robots that could be deployed in military and medical operations.
The research team from RIKEN and Tokai Rubber Industries (TRI) have come together to build a new robot with high-precision sensors for the care of the elderly.
A joint venture between the Riken Research Center and Tokai Rubber Industries has resulted in a rather unlikely robot. A giant teddy bear that is so strong that it can literally pick you up off the floor. Named Riba II the latest nursing robot is essentially designed to care for elderly patients who need help with movement.
Magnetecs has reported that a paper titled, “Dynamically Shaped Magnetic Fields: Initial Animal Validation of a New Remote Electrophysiology Catheter Guidance and Control System,” was published on the web before the print version of its medical journal circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology.
