Medisana home care application on Temi robot platform

The health care specialist medisana presents its first home care robot on the German market. It supports people to live independently at home. With smart services and artificial intelligence, the home care robot makes everyday life easier – and increases safety thanks to various health and emergency services.

MRI-guided biopsy robot for patients with breast cancer

Machnet Medical Robotics is a new UTwente spinoff that focuses on developing a robot for MRI-guided biopsies. The application is primarily focused on taking biopsies of early-stage breast cancer.

Robotic prosthesis with feeling, luke arm

Research into robotic prostheses is progressing by leaps and bounds, but a feeling of touch is difficult to overcome. This feeling helps us, among other things, to keep our grip power under control. Researchers at Utah University, among others, have developed a new method that mimics the feeling of a real hand, which is vital when it comes to fine motor control for handling delicate objects, according to the team in the journal Science Robotics.

Humanoid robots for patient simulation in medical training

A team of researchers and engineers from Gaumard Scientific have developed a robot that provides a more realistic situation for medical training. The robot, called HAL, looks like a boy and also behaves like a boy. He can follow a finger with his eyes, answer questions, cry for his mother and experience anaphylactic shock.

Are we going to connect our brains to computers

Elon Musk wants to connect the human brain to computers. A first step in this plan is to implant fine wires into the cerebral cortex. The operation, which must be as safe and fast as having your eyes lasered, will be carried out by a robot. People with a disability; The goal is initially to insert brain implants into the brains of, for example, paralyzed people, and to enable them to operate computers and telephones. It should also be able to restore speech, vision and hearing.

Social robot helps children with diabetes

A new social robot has been brought into use by the University Hospital of Brussels. The robot will inform and guide patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes. The robot provides a personal approach and can respond to children's emotions.

Tombot robot dog

Taking care of a pet can be difficult for seniors who suffer from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia and are forced to depend on others for their own daily affairs. When a live pet or emotional support animal is no longer safe or practical, Tombot can provide a viable option to enrich the lives of seniors. Tombot’s robot Puppy can be an invaluable tool for increasing social engagement in the elderly, and for redirecting “challenging" behaviors.

Jibo, one of our favorite robots will pass away

Jibo, 'the first social robot for home with its own "character", stops. Jibo was introduced in 2014 and was designed by Cynthia Breazeal, head of the Personal Robots Group of the MIT Media Lab. Breazeal is a pioneer in the field of social robotics and communication between people and robots. She said at the time that she hoped Jibo would be part of the family. "Jibo is different from other gadgets, because it treats you like a human," she said.

Remote robot operation thanks to 5G technology

Under the leadership of Dr. Liu Rong, doctors in China have successfully completed the world's first remote operation using 5G technology. The technique was tested in Fujian Province on a pig and used state-of-the-art technology. Doctor Liu Rong was able to remotely control robot arms via a 5G connection in a hospital 50 kilometers away for removing the liver of a pig in less than ten minutes. Thanks to the 5G technology, the doctor could see a clear real-time picture of the operation and at the same time communicate with his assistants.

GenieConnect is here to make life easier

Service Robotics Ltd is launching a unique solution to older adult independent living later this year. The solution, the brainchild of co-founders Rob Parkes and Tim Morgan, is called GenieConnect® and combines a companion robot called Genie with a 24×7 video Care Centre and specialised software for person-centred engagement. Pilot The pilot project will allow the GenieConnect® user to access a 24 x 7 Care Centre via video link on the face of the robot, using a simple voice command. The Service Robotics Care agent will chat with the user and provide information, assistance and referrals as necessary, to enable independent living for the user in their own home for longer.
