…that requires a high level of repetitive motion and precision, according to the researchers. Connecting two ends of an intestine is arguably the most challenging step in gastrointestinal surgery, requiring a surgeon to suture with high accuracy and consistency. Even the slightest hand tremor or misplaced stitch can result in a leak that could have catastrophic complications for the patient. STAR adds precision Working with collaborators at the Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C., and Jin Kang, a Johns Hopkins professor of electrical and computer engineering, Krieger helped create the robot, a vision-guided system designed specifically to suture soft tissue.…

…workplace safety, but their increasing levels of flexibility and precision are also changing how tasks such as machine tending, packaging, and welding are done. However, many small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) are reluctant to invest in systems for high-mix, low-volume applications. Integrators must evaluate the latest sensors, software, and end effectors for different use cases. In addition, researchers, integrators, and end users must consider the level of interaction with human co-workers, environmental conditions, and the safety of different payloads. In this Special Focus Issue, we consider how cobots have become a fast-growing segment of automation and how suppliers are turning…
