Why have exoskeleton robots developed rapidly in the past 10 years? From the global patent announcement and filing situation, we can see that before 2015, the number of global exoskeleton patents was still between 200-300 per year. After 2015, we can clearly see that the entire industry is experiencing an exponential blowout and explosion. The reason why exoskeleton robots can develop so quickly and vigorously is that we believe that they are very in line with the underlying needs of mankind. Exoskeleton robots are actually solving our immortality problem, providing us with more happiness, and allowing us ordinary people to become supermen and gods. So this is why exoskeleton robots have flourished rapidly in the past 10 years,In the next 10 years, it will become a new organ that each of us can’t live without.

Advances in #GenerativeAI and other areas could enable robots to assist human surgeons during certain tasks that require significant dexterity like suturing. A new paper in Science Robotics, “Augmented Dexterity: How robots can enhance human surgical skills,” suggests one way the latest developments in artificial intelligence could be used to advance medicine and improve the health and wellness of society. “Augmented Dexterity has potential to elevate good surgeons to the level of the best surgeons, which could support faster, and more reliable surgery,” wrote authors Ken Goldberg, the William S. Floyd Jr. Distinguished Chair in Engineering at UC Berkeley, and Gary Guthart, chief executive officer at Intuitive Surgical. https://lnkd.in/gKSaJm6X (CC: UC Berkeley Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS), UC Berkeley College of Engineering)

Credit: ETH Zurich A team of roboticists at Multi-Scale Robotics Lab, ETH Zurich, working with several hospitals in Switzerland, has developed a magnetically operated robot that could potentially be used to treat people after a stroke. Their paper is published in the journal Science Robotics. In ischemic strokes, an obstruction (typically a blood clot or plaque) becomes lodged in tiny vessels in the brain. The result is a blockage, which prevents blood from flowing to the brain, killing brain cells. Such strokes can cause brain damage and sometimes death. Treating them is extremely time-sensitive—the longer it takes to remove the blockage, the more brain damage occurs. Current treatments involve drugs that can break up the mass causing the blockage or use of a guide wire inserted into a femoral artery and pushed until its tip reaches the blockage. Both therapies take time, which means brain cells die waiting for blood to reach them. In this new effort, the research team developed a new approach that allows for a much more rapid response.

Credit: ETH Zurich The team involved developed a screw-shaped robot small enough to fit inside tiny blood vessels. Application of an external magnet causes the robot to rotate, propelling itself forward. The team added a soft tip at the front of the robot to prevent damage to blood vessels. The robot, the team believes, could be used to move through blood vessels rapidly until reaching a blockage—it could also be inserted much closer to the brain. Upon reaching the blockage, the robot could be used to drill through the material causing the backup, allowing blood to once again pass through. Thus far, the team has tested their robot on silicon models, a human placenta in their lab, and in a living pig. The robot has performed well enough to continue testing, with the goal of treating human patients sometime in the near future.

Autonomy in robotics surgery workshop at the ICRA 2024 The 2024 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA2024) is the flagship conference of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Robotics and Automation Society. This year the event took place from May 13th to 17th in Yokohama, Japan. ICRA brought together robotics researchers, students and industry partners from around the world to discuss the latest innovations and breakthroughs in robotics and automation. The workshop titled “Autonomy in Robotics Surgery: State of the art, technical and regulatory challenges for clinical application” as a part of ICRA 2024 was organized on May 13th led by experts Prof. Dr. Paolo Fiorini and Prof. Dr. Riccardo Muradore from University Verona. This tutorial dissected the regulatory challenges posed by the AI Act and delve into the integration of autonomous features into surgical robots. With renowned speakers and interactive sessions, anticipate a day of insightful discussions on the state of the art, technical advancements, and the roadmap for the future of autonomous robotic surgery as related topics of GEYEDANCE. In this workshop Dr. Gernot Kronreif (Chief Scientific Officer of ACMIT) gave a lecture entitled: “Fundamentals of medical regulations” in the Session 1: Autonomy. Prof. Dr. Muradore also had a lecture entitled: “Fundamentals of teleoperations” in the Session 2: Teleoperation For more information, please visit: https://lnkd.in/dybNy-xA #event #icra2024 #robotics #medicaltechnology #researchanddevelopment #science #AI #medicine #GEYEDANCEproject #ophtalmology

Scientists have created soft robots equipped with electronic skins and artificial muscles that can allow them to move inside the body. Imagine such tiny robots getting into the stomach to monitor pH levels and deliver drugs over an extended period. Or another one getting into the bladder to measure its volume and provide electrical stimulation to treat one that is overactive. Another far-fetched idea is having such a robot twists around a blood vessel to accurately measure blood pressure in real-time. The recent success in live animal models might suggest these visions could become possible in 5-10 years.
