Harold Sinnott, a technology influencer and digital consultant, shared a video on robots and humans performing complex surgeries. The video shows how the Da Vinci robotic surgical system performs a test surgery on a grape. The Da Vinci system is meant to assist in less invasive surgeries, as the robotic arms can perform keyhole surgeries or a surgery that is performed from a distance using tiny incisions, the video demonstrated. The system was tested to operate on a grape inside a bottle, which revealed that it functioned well in scenarios requiring fragility and attention, the video highlighted.
The test also revealed that the bot can effectively tie knots and suture, considering that grapes have a thin covering and have to be dealt with tactfully. The video, however, cautions that the system will not immediately replace humans in surgeries, as it works remotely enabling surgeons to view the operation throughout a procedure.
Glen Gilmore, principal of the Gilmore Business Network, a consultancy providing social business and digital marketing best practices, shared a video on the XR-1 intelligent service robot. Launched by China-based research and development company Innfos Technology, the robot moves its fingers and hands realistically like humans. It has been trained to adapt functions such as synchronised dancing alongside other robots, holding an egg without breaking it, and also pouring drinks without spilling and watering plants.
The robot can also shake hands and greet people with affectionate gestures, the video detailed. The makers state that the robots can be used in healthcare and business settings, as well as at homes.
da Vinci Robotic Surgery offers a vast of minimally invasive surgery procedures, ranging from hernia repairs to cholecystectomies & appendectomies.
3 days of Da Vinci Challenge Camp For Kids.
Would you like your child to participate in a holiday activity that challenges them technically, scientifically, and creatively?
Da Vinci was a brilliant painter, poet, and inventor who created the first known helicopters, enormous crossbows, bicycles, and much more!
Join in the spirit of Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest brains of all time: Reach for the stars, create some very cool take-home Rockets, work together to tackle some code-breaking difficulties, go on quests, stimulate your creative thoughts and notions, and, yeah, record a rap song!
Have a terrific time and a lot more.
