…system to the FDA for consideration and hopes to gain clearance soon, he said. Surgeons from Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Stanford University, the University of California San Francisco, the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, and Brigham and Women's Hospital have expressed interest in using the robot after clearance. Galen’s initial indications will focus on laryngological procedures. Future clearances will expand the scope of the platform into ENT (ear, nose, and throat), neurosurgical, spinal, and cardiothoracic procedures. “Physicians requested a platform with a great deal of stability with a low cost and that can be wheeled from…

…customs documentation and other transportation record-keeping? When blockchain technology gains more traction within the supply chain and logistics industries, the burden of documentation will lessen. A recent Supply Chain 24/7 article cited shipping company Maersk, who conducted research three years ago when they followed a refrigerated container transporting roses and avocados traveling from Kenya to the Netherlands. The journey took 34 days – 10 of which were idle waiting for paperwork. A Maersk executive told Bloomberg Reporter Kyunghee Park, “The paperwork and processes vital to global trade are also one of its biggest burdens. The paper trail research that Maersk…

…said. “Plus, physicians need more than 100 procedures to gain proficiency with legacy robots, and that adds OR time.” Single-port procedures provide simplicity Vicarious Surgical said that its system uses two flexible arms and different motion-control technology for a lighter-weight approach. “There's a huge advantage of any system that puts all motion through one incision, providing simplicity for surgeons,” said Sachs. “With flexible robot technology, there is lower force and greater flexibility than 2.5 million complications or an 8.4% rate, which is approaching that of open surgery.” “I've been working on this since 2009 and full-time since 2014,” he recalled.…

…would say that autonomous machines stand the most to gain from innovations in perception, reinforcement learning, and physics-accurate simulation. Gopalakrishna looks ahead to 2022 What robotics capabilities do you expect to improve in the coming year? Gopalakrishna: I believe that the perception stacks on robots will be much improved. Exponentially more robots will be deployed that have a better semantic understanding of their environment. This will drive more autonomy and ultimately lead to safer robots requiring less human intervention. The era of robots working with humans in tandem will drive new areas of automation and increased productivity. What are you…
