SURGICAL ROBOTS HAVE COME A LONG WAY. Today the cutting edge (no pun) is tele-operated surgical robots, robots on a chip, nano and micro robots and wireless endoscopy devices. Clearly, a new sensitive robotic skin will have a big impact on these larger interfaces. http://lnkd.in/Rb6UDG View in LinkedIn

ADVANCES IN BIOMEDICINE ARE STARTING TO READ LIKE SCI FI. I have the uncanny feeling as I read and blog about these new developments that we are deep in a Sci Fi book, and what were the far-away dreams of imaginative writers are becoming reality today.

THE FIRST FULL FACE TRANSPLANT WAS CONDUCTED IN SPAIN IN MARCH 2010 by a team of thirty doctors. This feat has been repeated since then. The challenge of keeping a complex musculature, innervation, and glandular system intact is a daunting prospect. The source tissues have been either the patient's own damaged faces packed on ice, or transplanted from brain dead donors. The technical splendor of this work is awesome. http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=19082675 View in LinkedIn
