Robots are increasingly coming to equip our future operating rooms. Among all the new high-tech medical tools, Johns Hopkins University researchers have come up with a snakelike robot!
This robotic assistant is capable of helping surgeons in making incisions and tie sutures with greater dexterity and precision — operating especially in the narrow region like throat.
This is not just all! Scientists have come up with another robot - the steady-hand system - that is capable of curbing a surgeon’s natural tremor. It precisely allows a doctor to inject drugs into tiny blood vessels in the eye, dissolving vision-damaging clots.
Johns Hopkins-based, National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology team have built these and other projects.
