Robots Go Where Scientists Fear to Tread

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created specially designed robots called SnoMotes to traverse potentially dangerous ice environments. The SnoMotes work as a team, autonomously collaborating among themselves to gather data that could give scientists a better understanding of the important dynamics that influence the stability of ice sheets.

First Steps Toward Autonomous Robot Surgeries

Advances in ultrasound technology have made it possible to produce 3-D moving images in real-time.  Engineers at the Duke University Ultrasound Transducer Group are using this novel technology to guide the actions of a tabletop robot.
