07/05/12 — An artificial cerebellum has restored lost brain function in rats, bringing the prospect of cyborg-style brain implants a step closer to reality University of Granada researchers have developed an artificial cerebellum (a biologically-inspired adaptive microcircuit) that controls a robotic arm with human-like precision. The cerebellum is the part of the human brain that controls the locomotor system and coordinates body movements. To date, although robot designers have achieved very precise movements, such movements are performed at very high speed, require strong forces and are power consuming. This approach cannot be applied to robots that interact with humans, as a malfunction…
06/20/12 — It’s something I’ve never had to worry about but have had friends go through, and sometimes, regret. We’re talking about a tubal ligation, and women have it when they think they’re donehaving children – but what if you get married again and want to conceive? Tubal ligations prevent you from getting pregnant, but if you want to reverse them – while possible – it’s often complicated, expensive, and I would imagine, painful. Robotic surgery is being implemented in everything from prostatectomies to hysterectomiesto even carrying trays of medicine in hospitals. It’s rapidly growing popularity is fortunately allowing doctors to see…
