AiM Medical Robotics is taking the next steps to validate its robot for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s patients. The company is partnering with the Surgical Navigation and Robotics (SNR) Lab at Harvard and has entered into a clinical research agreement with the Clinical Trial Office at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH). The post AiM […]
May was a busy month for the robotics industry. Exciting events, like the Robotics Summit & Expo and Automate, brought a batch of new product releases and partnership announcements. At the same time, humanoid robotics continued to grab our reader’s attention throughout the month. Here are the top 10 most popular stories on The Robot Report […]
Robots are on the rise in medical environments and are being increasingly relied upon to carry out more complex procedures. Although martensitic stainless steels have been favored for bearings in robot applications, their performance is falling short against rising standards to prevent contamination in medical environments. The post Ceramic bearings bring high speeds, low noise […]
In the ever-evolving world of technology, the distinction between contact-based and contactless wireless charging has become pivotal, with an added layer of confusion thrown into the mix. Wired charging stations are now marketing themselves as “wireless,” blurring the lines between true contactless solutions and those requiring physical contact. The post What’s the difference between contactless […]
Last year, generative AI received a lot of attention, but the challenge in 2024 is to apply it to industrial technologies and commercial use cases. NVIDIA Corp. and its partners are working with generative AI to make robots more capable, said Deepu Talla, vice president of robotics and edge computing at NVIDIA. The post Generative […]
The analysis of American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) data, presented at AAOS 2024 in San Francisco, found that revision rates were similar in conventional and surgical robot cementless TKA at two years post-operatively. The study also found that the odds of revision due to infection or mechanical loosening were not significantly different between the two […]
Healthcare is facing a severe labor shortage, so the demand for innovative solutions is on the rise. Robotics is an obvious place to look for help, but hospitals are intricate ecosystems that present a myriad of challenges to mobile robots. From automated and manual doors to beds, wheelchairs, various carts, and IV poles, the hospital […]
With the onslaught of humanoids that were introduced in 2023, it seems Atlas, the humanoid that set the stage for so much of today’s humanoid progression, has fallen out of the limelight. But on its YouTube channel today, Boston Dynamics said not so fast. Boston Dynamics released a video showing its Atlas humanoid picking and placing […]
No one could blame Carnegie Mellon University students Akhil Padmanabha and Janavi Gupta if they were a bit anxious this past August as they traveled to the Bay Area home of Henry and Jane Evans. The students were about to live with strangers for the next seven days. On top of that, Henry, a person […]
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute are creating robots that can map and repair natural gas pipelines. The team is led by Howie Choset, the Kavčić-Moura professor of computer science at CMU, who plans to commercialize the robot later this year. The post CMU crawling robots map and repair natural gas pipelines appeared first […]
