THE GOAL. "The ultimate in robotic surgery would be the integration of daVinci-style surgical robots with telemedicine technologies that enable medical professionals to consult, assist, supervise, or train their counterparts in distant locations." https://lnkd.in/esfXuij View in LinkedIn

SURGICAL ROBOTS. "da Vinci. Patented and manufactured by Intuitive Surgical ISRG 0.59% — a publicly held Silicon Valley–based company that posted revenue of $1.76 billion, a 24% increase over 2010 — the system costs up to $2.3 million." http://fortune.com/2013/01/15/meet-your-next-surgeon-dr-robot/ View in LinkedIn

SURGICAL INFLECTION POINT. "A study conducted by the American Cancer Society found that the number of radical prostatectomies has “risen substantially” in the past decade, and patients travel great distances to be operated on with a robot. Today, four out of five prostatectomies are performed with a robot. The result is an industry at an inflection point." http://fortune.com/2013/01/15/meet-your-next-surgeon-dr-robot/ View in LinkedIn

SURGICAL BOTS. "Last year the Journal for Healthcare Quality reported that 41% of hospital websites advertised robotic surgery; of these, 37% did so on their homepage. Hospitals with robots are pulling in more and more patients, and in some cases, the existence of the robot actually increases the number of surgeries performed." https://lnkd.in/em6ceVf View in LinkedIn

CELLULAR SURGERY. “Robot cooperation for particles manipulation under microscope. With application in single cell surgery, cell measurements, cell enucleation and tissue engineering, robotic manipulation of micron scale biological samples is a challenging operation which requires high dexterity and precision.“ https://lnkd.in/eGPs6Ua View in LinkedIn

ROBOTS IN SPACE. "This section focuses on literature describing multi-robot systems that have already been implemented in space missions." https://lnkd.in/eeazbNX View in LinkedIn

SPACE APPS. "NASA, which has used a robotic arm to carry astronauts in space and has a humanoid robot working on the International Space Station, said it will need humans and robots to work together to enable future, more industrious space missions." http://www.computerworld.com/article/2494871/emerging-technology/mit-aids-human--robot-cooperation-with-cross-training.html View in LinkedIn
