The doctor sits in a lead-lined cockpit, in a comfortable chair, and remotely controls the robotic system as it implants the balloon or stent catheters into the patient.
Boyden and Forest, working with Forest's graduate student Suhasa Kodandaramaiah, developed a robotic system to record activity of a single neuron in the living brain using a tiny glass tube.
Superbot is in fact a modular robotic system consisting of individual cube-shaped units as small as one square inch that are capable of attaching themselves to and communicating with other modules to create larger robots capable of carrying out a wide range of tasks.
Robotics: Six presenting firms offer robotic and software systems to maximize yield and productivity including Energid Technologies that has developed a robotic citrus harvesting system that automatically finds and removes fruit at a lower cost than manual harvesting, and Vision Robotics that will use stereo vision-based robots to pick, prune and other tasks on specialty crops.
