The robots are used in transportation in the medical field as an assist in hospitals. It is also used as an aid in military forces in a battlefield.


Does Intutive Surgical manufacture medical robots?

"Yes , Intuitive Surgical manufactures medical robots. The system is called the Di Vinci surgical system and is used for prostatectomies , cardiac valve repair and gynecologic surgical procedures."


How is a medical robot taught to perform its tasks?

Medical robots are typically taught to perform tasks through a combination of programming, machine learning, and simulation. Engineers and medical professionals program the robots with specific algorithms that define their functions, while machine learning allows the robots to improve through experience by analyzing data from past procedures. Additionally, simulations and virtual environments help the robots practice and refine their skills before operating in real medical settings. This iterative training process ensures accuracy and safety in patient care.


When does robots considered as human?

Robots will never be humans even though some have brains that function in certain capacity like humans. Robots don't have feelings. The medical profession is beginning to use Robots for less invasive surgeries right now, but it's at a young stage yet, but not for long.


How many degrees of freedom does medical robots have?

Medical robots typically have varying degrees of freedom (DOF) depending on their design and intended use. Surgical robots, like the da Vinci Surgical System, often have 4 to 7 degrees of freedom, allowing them to mimic the dexterity of human hands in tight spaces. Other robotic systems, such as rehabilitation or assistive robots, may have different configurations and can range from 2 to over 10 degrees of freedom, depending on their functions and tasks. Overall, the specific number of degrees of freedom is tailored to enhance precision and effectiveness in medical applications.


What task do medical robots perform?

They do pretty much everything because they have very steady hands or metal thingymabobs.


What sensors does the medical robots have?

Medical robots are typically equipped with a variety of sensors to enhance their functionality and precision. Common sensors include cameras for visual feedback, force sensors to detect pressure during surgical procedures, and ultrasonic sensors for imaging and navigation. Additionally, some robots may utilize temperature sensors for monitoring patient conditions or environmental sensors to adapt to different surgical environments. Together, these sensors enable enhanced accuracy, safety, and efficiency in medical applications.


What tasks might robots do in the future?

Robots in our future can either be a good or a bad thing. You may have already seen the future in Robots in the auto and medical industry. Currently there is one car factory in Germany that is totally automated by Robots and one IBM technology factory in Texas 100% automated. One company, Caterpillar, is working on robotic machinery and plans on 2020-2021 for complete automation of their heavy machinery. The largest industry where you will see robots in our future before others is the medical industry. The Da Vinci surgery robot is an indication of the possibilities of robots working in hospitals. Robots are precise and performing risky surgeries can alleviate human error and stress associated with surgery. Increasing health care costs and the needs of the elderly and sick put a strain on our current network of doctors. Having robots perform the day-to-day and repetitive surgeries can free up doctors and surgeons for the harder operations. Also, medical scientists are affected: they would be able to concentrate of creating vaccines and cures.

Are there good war robots in Star Wars?

In star wars robots are "droids" and there are many kinds including soldier ones. This vary from battle droids and super battle droids (robots with guns) to robots who can dismantle enemy ships and jam radio waves. other droids do work such as medical droids, atsromec droids(R2D2) who control small ships and interpertor droids who can memorize thousands of languages.
