…It uses a high-precision robot arm and Wireless One-Step navigation based on a real-time optical torque sensor (OTS). This robot enables more precise, safer, and faster surgery in comparison with traditional manual surgery, said the company. In addition, robotic surgery can minimize the filming and reduce the radiation exposure of both patients and medical staff, CUREXO said. Both two-dimensional filming (C-arm) and 3-dimensional filming (O-arm) are applicable with this system, providing expandability, according to the company. With the Wireless One-Step, CUVIS-spine allows multiple steps of traditional surgery —needle, K-wire, dilation, and tapping—to be performed with one tool, significantly reducing surgery…

…the past two years and oversee the planning and navigation research for the project. They recently invited John McPhee, a Canada research chair and professor of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo, to improve the motion controller for the vehicle and to oversee the dynamics and control aspects of the project. The research team selected a 2015 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid as the vehicle platform, and used Maplesoft’s Maple and MapleSim to support their research. They outfitted the car with the sensors and actuators required for implementation as an autonomous vehicle. “The Lincoln MKZ is the vehicle preferred by…

…safety. How is this tied to regulatory compliance and navigation? Theobald: Our software and robots comply with American National Standards Institute [ANSI] B56.5 and Robotics Industries Association [RIA/A3] R15.08 safety standards. The update enables more than 75% improvement in obstacle avoidance, without compromising on safety. With Free Space Reasoning, our next generation of navigation technology optimizes for free space without needing a line or path drawn for it. The real world is chaotic. Robots can “thread the needle” and keep moving through tight spaces as quickly as safety allows. How does the ability Mark 3 software update affect users of…

…said its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) use proprietary contextual navigation software that enables them to navigate both indoors and outdoors. The robots also include multi-layered safety protocols to facilitate safe navigation in crowded spaces such as sidewalks and airports. The company claimed that its systems, which are available through a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model, can contribute to sustainability and scalability goals. Ottonomy last month partnered with Los Angeles-based CraveUp so that consumers could use CraveUp's mobile app to order robotic deliveries in food courts in California. Mapping and processing for dynamic AMRs “AMRs are mostly focused on constrained environments like warehouses,”…

…Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, compared Robotic Magnetic Navigation (RMN)-guided cardiac ablation with manual radiofrequency (RF) ablation and manual cryoablation. The study’s primary endpoint was long-term freedom from arrhythmia recurrence, with a mean follow-up time of 5.5 years. AV(N)RTs cause abnormally fast heartbeats and are the most common supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (SVT) in children without structural heart disease. Left untreated, frequent episodes may weaken the heart and lead to heart failure, said Stereotaxis. The median age of patients in the study was 14 years at the time of treatment. Patients treated using RMN had 94.4% freedom from arrhythmia recurrence through…
