Robots are already in use for very precision-demanding surgeries such as brain surgery (and without their help, my grandma in Germany would not have had a chance to survive).<BR/>Improvements like force-feedback and a better dexterousness will make robots find their way into special areas of surgery step by step. At the same time, surgeons will get used to handling remote actors.<BR/>Pratically, this means there will be a big demand of virtual sensing technologies - an area that's also known as "augmented reality".<BR/><BR/>Walther Schulze, NT061333YHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887832757562395900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1176174937085524752007-04-10T11:15:00.000+08:002007-04-10T11:15:00.000+08:00It will be interesting to see what kind of precise...It will be interesting to see what kind of precise control mechanisms and force feedback mechanism is used in this robot, The bionic arm uses electrical signals from nerves to control motion and to provide sensory feedback. Something like that would provide more natural control for the surgeons.<BR/><BR/>Harish Kumar Koundinya<BR/>U037793NAssistivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006065314130625352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175937626746754452007-04-07T17:20:00.000+08:002007-04-07T17:20:00.000+08:00This is a similar concept to the neuroArm, except ...This is a similar concept to the <A HREF="http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/170/11/1654" REL="nofollow">neuroArm</A>, except it does not have real-time MRI capability.

Research is still being done to broaden the applications of MIS.<BR/><BR/>For now, let's just say that it's extremely useful for nerve surgery since it doesn't tremble and there's minimal risk of killing nerves that shouldn't be destroyed.<BR/><BR/>For more information, you can click on the links listed in my references.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Rgds,<BR/>NickMedicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113871826661688545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175872429652746802007-04-06T23:13:00.000+08:002007-04-06T23:13:00.000+08:00This is a very useful invention for human being.

However, I am concern about how could this machine handle all type of operations or it only can handle a few specific types of operation.<BR/><BR/>Phan Tien Khoi<BR/>U037846RAssistivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006065314130625352noreply@blogger.com
