World’s First Remote Heart Operation Using Robotic Arm
We’re not entirely certain that that is the way we want to be treated whether anything happens in the future, but it’s good to manufacture out that a cardiologist has completed the world’s first remote heart operation at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, UK. The procedure was done using the Remote Catheter Manipulation System built by [...]

iPhone controls Hexapod
The iPhone is a wonderful handset, where yet another application for it would be to control a Hexapod robot via user inputs. that is made possible thanks to robotics student Robert Stephenson who came up with the view and subsequently, program. The control method utilized include the touchscreen and accelerometer which will manipulate both forward [...]
DARPA ARM project
DARPA has kicked off a robotics software/hardware research and development program known as ARM, where it hopes to construct a robot which is capable of grasping a number of objects using two arms and hands autonomously and skillfully, making us wonder whether DARPA is really Skynet in disguise. that is to help it hold objects [...]
POSTECH quadruped robot
Looks like the South Koreans aren’t too far behind when it comes to robotics, as evident by POSTECH’s quadruped robot that might just offer Boston Dynamics’ BigDog some competition. It still has some lengths to go before it overhauls BigDog in terms of technology, but POSTECH seems to be definitely on the right path. They’ll [...]
Intel to insert chips in brain
Intel wants to have chips (theirs, obviously) inside our brains in the future so that there is no need for a mouse or keyboard to take charge of our computers. Dean Pomerleau is the brains behind that vision, where he works for Intel on matters of cognitive neuroscience, machine learning, computer vision, robotics, man-machine interfaces, [...]
