Robotics endoscopy manipulation can be a significant asset to doctors. It allows them to improve the efficiency and precision of the endoscopy. The physician will use a remote control connected to the drive system of the robotic endoscope. Most doctors…
Teleflex is a Dutch Robotics project that can improve the quality and reduce the cost of some invasive surgeries. With this robotic manipulator, only one surgeon is needed to work the endoscope instead of two. This will make surgeries easier to do and…
The AIBO ERS-31L is the last in SONY's robotic LM dog line. Like the other canine companions, it can speak and has speech recognition. The AIBO ERS-31L has a Clinic mode that helps to diagnose and fix most of the problem you might encounter with the…
Female bot Aiko may be the future of helping disabled and elderly people with household tasks. The robot has AI software and speaks English and Japanese and has object and face recognition. It was made to be the first android that can react to physical…
Arturito is a robot shrouded in mystery because of his secretive creator. However, it has made a name for itself by locating deeply-buried objects such as gold ingots.
Octavia is a wheeled firefighting robot developed by MIT's Personal Robotics Group. The US Navy wanted a robot on board ship in order to help humans deal with fires and other emergencies. Octavia's operating system allows it to track complex objects and…
RM400 can mow bigger lawns than other Robomow models, and can be set to follow a schedule – when it's time for a mowing session, it undocks itself and gets to work.
Sarcoman is an entertainment robot capable of juggling balls and balancing a pole among other feats. It can dynamically adjust its movements and is controlled by a human operator.
Unicycle Robot is the first robot in China capable of balancing on a single wheel. It can navigate a balance beam and even compensate for external disturbances. Unicycle Robot has infrared sensors, a gyroscope, and an inclinometer. Its developers hope…
