History of Medical Robots

  • Endoscopy-bot

    Endoscopy-bot
    "Small camera or tool on a long wire is shoved into the body through a “natural opening” to a search for damage, foreign objects, or traces of disease."
  • Robotic Exoskeletons

    Robotic Exoskeletons
    "For starters, they are being used to help paralyzed people walk again, which is nothing short of a miracle."

    "Now, I’ll admit, this one may not sound as exciting as some of the others on the list, but consider this: until now, surgeons have mostly just been learning on the job or on cadavers. Yeah… Suddenly training robots seem a lot more important."
  • Pharmabotics

    Pharmabotics
    ¨Simulators let you learn through trial and error at your own pace thus giving you, valuable practice, knowledge and experience.¨
  • Davinci system

    ¨The da Vinci® surgical system gives your surgeon an advanced set of instruments to use in performing robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery.¨
  • Disinfected bot

    Disinfected bot
    ¨The bot, made by Blue Ocean Robotics, can go into rooms by itself and use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria.¨
  • Buddy the robot

    Buddy the robot
    ¨BUDDY is an endearing emotional robot that wins the heart of the whole family, including children and adults. And it is not his 60 cm high that will stop him in his quest for bringing the family around a new emotional experience.¨
  • Robotic nurses

    Robotic nurses
    ¨Right now in Japan, human-like robots are already being utilized as supplemental healthcare workers in elderly homes across the country. Larger robotic machines can be used to carry-out laborious physical tasks like moving patients, and smaller interactive robots are being used to combat loneliness and inactivity in the elderly population.¨
  • Antibacterial nanorobot

    Antibacterial nanorobot
    ¨Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed tiny ultrasound-powered robots that can swim through blood, removing harmful bacteria along with the toxins they produce. These proof-of-concept nanorobots could one day offer a safe and efficient way to detoxify and decontaminate biological fluids.¨
