A robot, trained for the first time by watching videos of seasoned surgeons, executed the same surgical procedures as skillfully as the human doctors. The post Researchers use imitation learning to train surgical robots appeared first on The Robot Report.
Thanks to the rapid progress of information technology and artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicle technology has been taking off. In fact, AVs are now advanced enough that they are being used for logistics delivery and low-speed public transportation. The post Autonomous vehicle sensors don’t have to be a drag, find researchers appeared first on The Robot […]
The first use of the Genesis robotic magnetic navigation (RMN) system comes as part of a robotic heart program at the health system. Genesis delivers the benefits of robotic precision and safety to cardiac ablation to treat arrhythmias, said the St. Louis, Mo.-based company. The post Kansas hospital begins robotic heart program with Stereotaxis surgical […]
Microsoft launched its Quantum Ready program intended to help provide businesses with tools and preparation for quantum computing. The program is being offered just as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (United Nations) activities start picking up steam and was announced in a Microsoft blog — 2025: The year to become Quantum-Ready. The […]
Google Quantum AI introduced a new hybrid digital-analog approach to quantum simulation that combines gates (digital) and analog simulation. The impressive work is being reported in Nature today in which the new approach was demonstrated on Google’s 69-qubit Sycamore device and there are plans for use on Google’s new 100-qubit Willow chip. The post Google […]

A looming U.S. surgeon shortage—projected to reach up to 19,900 unfilled positions by 2036, per AAMC data—is set to collide with an aging population and frequently crumbling rural healthcare infrastructure. Rural communities face the sharpest edge of this predicament: 136 rural hospitals closed between 2010 and 2021, leaving 60% of non-metro counties lacking adequate surgical […]
The recent wildfires in Los Angeles County have highlighted the complex role of artificial intelligence in both fighting fires and potentially contributing to the conditions that fuel them. AI has emerged as a promising tool for wildfire prediction and resource allocation, but its substantial energy and water needs raise valid concerns in a state already […]
NRF 2025 (National Retail Federation) showcased a variety of technologies for retail operations, including maturing robots and shelf intelligence system. The post Robots show tenacity in retail appeared first on The Robot Report.
The global market value of industrial robot installations has reached an all-time high of $16.5 billion (U.S.), according to the International Federation of Robotics, or IFR. Future demand will be driven by a number of technological innovations, market forces, and new fields of business, it predicted. The post IFR predicts top 5 global robotics trends […]
