Robotic Surgeon Operates from the Inside

Robotic Surgeon Operates from the Inside
Apr-07-14
With an eye toward providing robotic medical help to humans on deep-space missions, researchers are soon to test a small, fist-sized robot designed to perform surgery on astronauts in space.

The small robot, developed by Virtual Incision and researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has been designed to enter the body through a small incision in the navel. Once inside the body, the robot will use an inert gas to inflate the patient's abdomen and provide room enough to work. The robot would be equipped with an array of tools able to heal ulcers, seal wounds or perform appendectomies, and would be controlled remotely by a human with a pair of Phantom Omni haptic devices, a monitor and a foot pedal.
