Imagine if one day a robot can perform routine procedures in the operating room. Amazing! Bioengineers at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, United States, have created a robot that can look for lesions or wounds in human organs and take samples in a single session all without doctor's supervision. Researchers hope the development one day, robots work independently on basic surgery. In the future, it would be very useful. Provided that, this technology is not misused later.
With nicknames biopsy Bot, the robot relies on 3-D ultrasound technology to its motion. Ultrasound scan serves as an "eye robot" allows doc bot to find the target. With a sophisticated artificial technology, data processing 3-D robot specific commands to the mechanical arm that examine the lesion and to take samples. The generation of surgical robots have been 93% effective in the most recent tests, and researchers at Duke University sure about the feasibility of a robot.
"One of the beauty of this system is that all hardware components available on the market," said team leader, professor Stephen Smith. "We believe that this is the first step in showing that with some modifications, such systems can be built without develop a new technology from the beginning."
One day, maybe the era of robots will be formed. Depending on how we deal with technological developments. Perhaps, someday there will be a robot that replaces our work in the office, even a police robot.
