Carnegie Mellon Designs Low-cost, High-Efficiency 3D Bioprinter

05/29/18, 08:45 AM | Mobile & Service Robots , Unmanned & Other Topics | bioprinting, Medical and Service

We have already made exciting advances to date, with the ability to print biological materials and cells with unprecedented resolution and fidelity. Put simply, we can do more than print something that looks cool-we can 3D print tissues that actually work.

Robotic Technology Goes Beyond Automation

05/17/18, 08:46 AM | Mobile & Service Robots , Unmanned & Other Topics | Medical and Service

While the obvious benefit of robotic technology is to automate business processes, there are an abundance of opportunities for robotic technology to improve the lives of humans without engaging in automation.

Advancement of Robots in Medicine

05/15/18, 08:24 AM | Mobile & Service Robots | Medical and Service | Len Calderone - Contributing Author

Robotic surgery is deemed by and large safer than open surgery. The hospital stay is shorter, reducing the risk of infection; pain and discomfort is reduced; recovery time is faster; and blood loss and transfusions are lessened.

What's Driving Investments in Surgical Robots?

05/08/18, 08:29 AM | Mobile & Service Robots | Medical and Service, surgery

Ideally, hospitals and clinics would be able to justify the cost of a new robot based on scientific studies on its effectiveness and business cases on its usability. But for new platforms, these are very scarce.
