Aibo for Surgery? Heck NO ;) | |
Aibo in Surgery?
You'd think with a title like "Dr. Aibo, You're Wanted in O.R.", this Wired feature would be about a horror film involving robotic dogs operating on human brains. But no! It has in fact nothing to do with Sony at all, which is quite annoying. The article discusses a robotic arm used for surgery, very similar to those you'd find in the Space Shuttle but smaller and more accurate -- it's in fact the same company involved: Canadarm. The arm is guided by surgeons with the assistance of MRI, which is apparently a breakthrough. The device still costs a fortune, but the increase in reliability and efficiency may prove worth-while. |
