As well as, his clickable system of swapping human organs is coming to life … if you want to define life reasonably loosely. Moreover, you are willing to suspend reality for a bit.In a (fictional) experiment, Vlasman developed OSCAR, a living,...

UV-C Disinfecting Robots being used in a hospital/ Credit: ctvnews.caWith cleaning standards under heightened scrutiny, hospitals and healthcare facilities face increased pressure to maintain the highest level of cleanliness. In response to this challenge, Cameron Memorial Community Hospital in Angola, Indiana, recently made a heavy investment in the ultraviolet (UV-C) disinfecting robots. This action...
Human robot communications not just enable robotics to interact with humans however likewise with the atmosphere. Microrobots, for example, can communicate with insects and measure the force exerted by them during the trip or walking.However, this communication is not direct, with the microrobots measuring insect habits primarily. Now, scientists have developed a soft micro-robotic...
