Robots and Medicine Baby Seals and Merging Technology
Robots and Medicine The Nando Times has a report of a robotic baby seal that has lifted the staff and patient's morale in a Japanese hospital; Researchers Say Robots May Lift Nursing Home Spirits. The study involves once again, elderly people, and the impact a robot can make on their feelings and emotions. A second article, vaguely related, can be found over on Info Space. It discusses the mergence of biology and robotics -- Robotics, Medicine Merger Poses Quandary. Indeed, robots are increasingly inspired from biological models, and conversely robots are used more and more to assist surgical operations and other nursing tasks. This poses issues, despite the benefits, as the potential of artificial creatures is in my opinion under-estimated in this article. | Alex J. Champandard 931 posts. Friday 17 May, 16:35 Reply
