A team at the University of Bristol,  based at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, has developed a robot that could carry out Clinical Breast Examinations (CBE). The manipulator is able to apply very specific forces over a range similar to forces used by human examiners and can detect lumps using sensor technology at larger depths than before.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Some tumors are extremely small and hide deep within lung tissue, making it difficult for surgeons to reach them. To address this challenge, UNC –Chapel Hill and Vanderbilt University researchers have been working on an extremely bendy but sturdy robot capable of traversing lung tissue.

A tiny robot which can travel deep into the lungs to detect and treat the first signs of cancer has been developed by researchers at the University of Leeds The ultra-soft tentacle, which measures just 2 millimetres in diameter and is controlled by magnets, can reach some of the smallest bronchial tubes and could transform the treatment of lung cancer. 

Inspired by the unique ability of pangolins to quickly curl up into a ball, researchers from the Physical Intelligence Department at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart have developed a robot that mimics this functionality. The research, published in Nature Communications on 20 June 2023, demonstrates the creation of a flexible robot that combines soft and hard components, capable of turning into a sphere and emitting heat when needed.

SpineGuard, provider of DSG (Dynamic Surgical Guidance) sensing technology to secure and streamline the placement of bone implants, today announced new results reached in the development of its robotic application.

Singapore robotics firm AiTreat will be embarking on a new product evaluation in the United States for their massage robot powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Mayo Clinic, USA.

SpineGuard, developer of DSG (Dynamic Surgical Guidance) sensing technology to secure and streamline the placement of bone implants, announced that research teams presented three articles at the CRAS conference in Naples, Italy. They report the progress made with the robotic application of DSG.

VirtaMed, provider of medical simulation training, and Memic Innovative Surgery, provider of surgical robotic technology, announced a partnership to develop a new virtual reality simulator program to support surgeon skills training for the Hominis Surgical System.

Europe’s Rehabilitation Robots market is expected to reach US$ 708.87 million by 2028 from 185.69 US$ million in 2021. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% from 2021 to 2028, according to a report by ResearchAndMarkets.com.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, the strain on hospital employees has increased significantly. Therefore, it has become more important than ever to relieve healthcare staff of repetitive tasks. ZNA uses Robotic Process Automation as a solution to automate this repetitive workload.
