Part 11/17:
Published in Science Robotics, this work builds on earlier successes, including autonomous surgeries performed on live animals, suggesting a trajectory toward fully autonomous surgical systems capable of handling the complexities and unpredictability of real-world operations.
Robots Accelerating Disaster Recovery
Robotics are also playing a crucial role in post-disaster rebuilding efforts. In California, ABB Robotics and Cosmic Building deployed a mobile robotic microfactory to aid recovery after wildfires destroyed over 16,000 structures. Set up in a large tent, the system uses an industrial robotic arm integrated with digital twin platforms to automate construction processes.
