To state that Cerebrum surgeries are muddled would be putting it mildly. The accuracy it requires to complete surgery takes years of practice by a specialist but then, inclined to human mistakes. The issue is a great deal more entangled on account of brains. One scarcest and most minor mistakes can leave the patient deadened.

As an answer, specialists thought of robots to carry out the occupation of people. On the off chance that the prospect of a machine makes you awkward, consider having a robot finish a mind surgery. The robots can be depended upon to perform entangled and fragile undertakings, for example, peeling a grape. The robot-helped surgeries lessen the time it takes to play out the surgeries too. The lessening of time is synonymous to the diminishment of costs it takes to play out the surgeries.

Scientists are discovering approaches to diminish the time and enhance the accuracy in such mind boggling systems all around the globe. The analysts at the College of Utah are twisted on the scan for the arrangement in surgeries utilizing robots. One of such robots can lessen an opportunity to perform complex surgeries by 50 times. The technique it takes to penetrate through a human skull takes 2 hours, nonetheless, the robot can do as such with intense accuracy in just 2 and a half minutes, revealed CNN.

"We could program it to penetrate the bone out securely just by utilizing the patient's CT criteria, it essentially machines out the bone" Group captain neurosurgeon Willian Couldwell".

An additional advantage of usage of robots to perform tedious convoluted undertakings is the base measure of time the patient is affected by anesthesia. There can be entanglements for the situation where the patient is continued anesthesia for a more extended time. Generally speaking, the robot-helped surgeries are something to anticipate given the level of precision of the robots that a human will be unable to accomplish.

There are some movie  that is fiction to every one of us, however some are attempting to make it a reality. People are awful now and again, and loads of individuals get their hearts broken. You can not control your other half so can fabricate a robot. It is that straightforward. All things considered, at any rate it was for a Chinese counterfeit consciousness master who made himself a robot spouse.

Zheng Jiajia is a 31-year-old AI master hailing from the city of Hangzhou in China. He ended up plainly prevalent when he wedded a robot named Yingying, which he had assembled himself only a year back.

Zheng holds a graduate degree in manmade brainpower from Zhejiang University. Graduating 2011, he later put in three years working at Huawei however then joined Dream Town, a web and tech startup center point in the city of Hangzhou. Only a year back, he began to fabricate a humanoid and wound up wedding it. Yingying is a female robot weighing 30kgs that can perceive Chinese characters and pictures. It can likewise say a couple of basic words.

As Zheng puts it, he had been dating the robot for two months when he chose to get hitched. The wedding occurred in a little function that his mom and some of his companions went to. A companion revealed to Qianjiang Evening News he has had his heart split in past and surrendered finding a human accomplice. Zheng, be that as it may, called this a joke.

Zheng's robot spouse does not do much right now, but rather he wants to redesign her giving the capacity to walk, talk and even do house tasks. He would like to develop old close by her, aside from he will be the just a single getting old.

engineer Robotic wife

The thought is crazy, unquestionably not Zheng and another French lady who 3D printed a robot and began to look all starry eyed at it. She is quite recently holding up to get such a wedding authorized before she weds her robot. The possibility of human-robot connections is not new. Specialists have been discussing the conceivable outcomes for some time. Dr. David Levy, who is a robot master and a top of the line creator had anticipated a marriage between a human and a robot by 2050.
Yes, most rational individuals would not think of it as. Doesn't hurt to investigate the potential outcomes, isn't that right?

Russia Has Manufactured A Robot That Can Shoot Weapons And Go To Space


Robot end times may be nearer than we at any point thought in the state of these Russian Android gunslingers! These Eliminator save executioners display in a hair-raising video that demonstrates a look at the fate of fighting.

The video demonstrates a freaky humanoid robot tearing through its objectives on a shooting range utilizing a programmed weapon grasped in each mechanical hand.

The robot is called FEDOR, which was uncover by Vladimir Putin's delegate leader, Dmitry Rogozin, in a tweet,

Rogozin tweeted the statement along with a video:
“Russian fighting robots – guys with iron nature.
“We are not creating a Terminator, but artificial intelligence that will be of great practical significance in a lot of spheres.”
Other than being a mean murdering machine FEDOR's propelled programming and mechanics additionally enables it to perform complex assignments like driving and guiding vehicles and even numerous wellness works out. As Australia's Nine News reports, the Russian government additionally plans to send FEDOR to space, where it would be the main traveler on Russian space flight Federatsiya's first dispatch in 2021.

                                                Credit:  Youtube

Other than FEDOR, the video additionally included free weapons like plane automatons, unmanned assault rifle trucks, and self-driving tanks.













Andrey Grigoriev, who is the director of Russia’s Advanced Research Fund, reavealed Russia’s state-run RIA Novosti last week,

“FEDOR was designed as an android able to replace humans in high-risk areas, such as rescue operations. For this purpose, it was necessary to teach him to work independently in an urban environment, navigate the terrain, drive a car, to handle special tools, first aid and other actions,”

USA and Russian have been bolted into a secretive executioner robot race for quite a long time, with Vadim Kozyulin, senior research individual and previous officer at the Soviet Service of Outside Issues, guaranteeing the USA have been driving the path for a considerable length of time.  
     
What's more, it appears just as this US' hostility in this fight for executioner robot matchless quality has upped the ante and provoked a risky heightening from Russia and China. Or if nothing else that is the thing that this video appears.

Watch the startling robot in real life underneath!

Meet Jia Jia China's Humanoid Realistic Robot



Chen Xiaoping and his colleagues at the University of Science and Technology of China have redefined the word “creepy” as they unveiled an eerily realistic robot called named Jia Jia.

 jia jia Looks incredibly like a life human, Jia Jia is capable of talking and interacting with real humans besides realistic facial expressions.


The robot even poses for a picture and comments “Don’t come too close to me when you are taking a picture. It will make my face look fat ” to someone who is trying to capture her photo.


Chen Xiaoping and his colleagues has spent three years on designing the robot and has gone to the intricacies of making its mouth move when speaking and that the eyes relocate and glance around the room naturally.

Humanoid Realistic Robot
The brain consists of essentially a massive online database which is connected to a cloud computing platform granting  the robot to enhance its ability to process emotions and speech as more data is uploaded.

MIT Unveils A Robot That Will Help You Deliver Your Baby

MIT Unveils A Robot That Will Help You Deliver Your Baby

baby delivery robot


We all know that robots are taking over the world as we know at the speed of light; and we are required to trust robots with delicate tasks like surgeries to the carriage of our expensive equipment. But this new robot calls for trust that even staunchest of tech supporters will hesitate in!

According to the latest research at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, robots could eventually be used in as important roles as delivering your baby and assigning duties in labor wards. Currently, robots are being employed in hospitals, but they are limited to less critical and mundane tasks like allotting medication to the patients. But can the robots work in a time critical, high pressure situation and be capable enough to cater for the patient needs and make assignment decisions?
baby delivery robot
The researchers at MIT’s CSAIL have been working on this very phenomenon for the past two years to determine whether robots can be more than just helpful companions and contribute towards real-time applications.
Currently, MIT researchers are experimenting to watch whether a robot can work as a practical “resource nurse.” This would include the duties of a nurse working in the labor and delivery unit and also being in charge of assigning other nurses to care for patients.
This will be a new breakthrough in the application of robots, as this is a very complex environment and a very hard job, according to the MIT professor Julie Shah. This will require the robots to make effective decisions in a time critical situation, e.g. deciding on which room should a patient be placed? Or which nurse should perform a C-section surgery? All of these decisions are to be made in a fast-paced, and highly unpredictable environment.
A Nao robot was utilized in the study to learn from actual nurses making scheduling and assignment decisions and then this information was processed to understand why they have made those decisions in order to try and sort out an algorithm.
The robot has to cater for the complexity of the decision making behind the task assignment to nurses, scheduling their breaks and more. Checks like determining nurses’ availability on the floor, their expertise in a particular case etc, are to be taken into account before making those decisions.
The researchers then tested the robot and its decisions for doctors and nurses in the real-time environment of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, USA. At BIDMC Boston, the robot was put in the place of a resource nurse, who usually coordinates 10 nurses, 20 patients and 20 rooms at one time. And the results of this experiments were beyond satisfactory, as 90% of the time, Nao robot made similar suggestions to what doctors and nurses carried out in actuality.
According to Professor Shah,  this technology can be used in two different scenarios. It can work as an effective training tool for in training nurses and can also be used to make better and more time effective decisions in the labor section of the hospital, thus increasing performance and efficiency of operations.
The research was performed first with a computer-based support and then eventually with a robot to compare the performance of the robot with the nurses. The researchers did not observe an over-reliance on the robot, according to the Professor Shah, who also has a similar study that applying the same system to missile-defense scenarios.
How do you feel about trusting a robot with such important and critical tasks? Is this taking technology a bit too far?

Indian Engineering Students Build An Ironman Suit For Just $750

Indian Engineering Students Build An Ironman Suit For Just $750

Picture Credits: interestingengineering

Ever wished you had a suit similar to the Iron Man, so that with a click of a button all fly away from all your problems and worries? While it is sadly true that even with such a contraption you would still have to live your life as it is, but still it would be pretty cool to have a personalized suit you can fly in. Well, you are not alone with this wish! It seems that some Indian engineering students were so inspired and excited by the prospect that they actually went ahead and created an exoskeleton suit that could actually lift them above the ground.
The student, Vimal Govin Manikandan and his team of other engineers revealed that they were originally inspired by the Avatar and Iron Man when they decided to build this cool looking exoskeleton. They had a really tight budget, US $750 to be exact but still they somehow managed to create this amazing looking suit; though it will not be wrong to say that it still has a lot of room for improvement.
The suit with all its low budget gadgets and materials is still able to lift up an impressive 300 lbs (about 130 kg) which makes it an amazing feat for engineering students. The suit is able to generate its propulsion power using actuated cylinders that are connected to battery powered pressure switches. These pressure switches are then used to determine the movement and act accordingly.
While you can praise the students for their commitment and boldness in taking up this project, it has to be said that the suit is far from being truly functional. It is quite bulky (round about 100 kg) and the movements are also not very precise. The driver of the suit needs to take slow steps in order to avoid toppling, which makes it far from being truly autonomous.
While these Indian students are working on improving the prototype, they want this to be ultimately produced for the military. Similar concepts are being worked by many military technology based universities. One example would be of Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS), which is currently in development by the US military. TALOS is truly a wonder of modern day engineering, which blurs the quickly fading lines between human and machine, and is expanding the capabilities of humans to an unprecedented degree.
If this rate of robotic technological development continues, we will surely see the dawn of a new and exciting chapter of super humans and super machines in our near history.
Would you consider buying this Iron Man Robot for yourself? Let us know in the comments’ section below!

High School Students Build A Bomb-Seeking Robot


High School Students Build A Bomb-Seeking Robot




What would a bunch of high-school students do over summer? Probably join summer camps, play Pokemon Go or get busy camping and trekking. Well, most of them. The story of these 20 Cleveland high school students is different as they built a bomb-seeking robot suitable for all types of terrain. This team from Cuyahoga Community College built the robot for the upcoming Republican National Convention, that is held at Quicken Loans Arena. The program is supervised by Professor George Bilokonsky:
“The robot’s purpose is to scout ahead of time,” he said.

The Cleveland Police Department was in need of something fast and nimble and they saw the team of “whiz kids” at the community college and decided they would be up to the task. This is how “Scoutbot” was born.
“I wanted something simple, to check suspicious packages or whatever, and do it quickly,”  said Sargent Tim Maffo-Judd of CPD bomb squad. It was needed because “Our main bomb bot can go up and down stairs, shoot things, and blow things up, but it takes 20 minutes to set up.” ?he said.
The students were delighted to be entrusted with such a task.
“It feels like an honor and privilege to be able to work with the bomb squad on a project that they can use for the future and help keep people safe,” Mark Hairston, one of the students said in interview to CNN. “It was a little daunting at first, but over time, as it developed into the actual robot and we could see what it was becoming, it felt pretty good.”

“Scoutbot” would save that valuable time which officers could use to disarm the bomb instead. The six-wheeled bot looks like a remote-controlled toy car is set up in only 5 minutes. It’s equipped with a camera that enables 360 degree view, has a 400 feet range and even has night vision. Scoutbot’s structure is (18 x 6 x 12) inches in dimensions, made up mostly of 3D printed parts and aluminium. Its miniature design allows it to access normally inaccessible spaces for example, underneath cars to search for bombs. The project received $500 grant from a CPD foundation and Scoutbot was completed using spare parts from a shop around the community college
