One woman set up the Australian Centre for Robotic Visionthe worlds first such centerand then led efforts to create Australias first Robotics Roadmap. One co-founded a robot vacuum cleaner company and changed housework forever. Another, in Stockholm, is working with the United Nations in disease and natural disaster response. Yet another is helping close the skills gap in manufacturing. If there is a common thread found in the women Smart Manufacturing identified as making their mark in robotics and automation, it is a heightened awareness of the impact humans have on the planet without trying, as well as the positive impact we can have with concerted efforts. They see robots and drones as Jills of all trades that serve as helpful companions in education, health care and aging, as eyes that open new worlds in ocean depths, as positive-impact devices and as what (when paired with other automation technology) can enable indoor farming and sustain the things we care about. The 20 women profiled here are helping create a better world. On behalf of humanity, the magazine thanks them for their hard work, sharp minds and true grit. Because community building is so important, we are thrilled to see that Amy Elliott, Gillan Hawkes, Elena Messina, Roberta Nelson Shea and Nicole Renee Williams are members of SME.

Le Matre was inspired to become an engineer while reading The Mysterious Island, a Jules Verne tale of American Civil War escapees who used teamwork, scientific knowledge, engineering and perseverance to build a colony from scratch on an uncharted Pacific island. This was an interesting metaphor of how people are able to change the world and make it a better place by engineering new devices, she said. Making the world better is a theme that permeates her thinking: I strongly believe that as engineers, we have a moral obligation to change the world to make it a better place. As humans, by design, we have a negative impact on earth. Therefore, it is our duty to build things that may balance that. I believe that by focusing on Green IT, clean data centers, energy-efficient components, we can create positive-impact devices and make the world a better place. Unfortunately, the first positive-impact device she built, a retail and hospitality robot named Heasy, lived a short life before a fire destroyed the business in October 2019.

Yakoob was inspired to pursue a career in robotics and automation by the Daleks, an extraterrestrial race from the British television program Dr. Who, and by R2-D2 and C-3PO from the Star Wars movies. Since then, my fascination and curiosity have always steered methrough high school and beyondin identifying and selecting subjects and courses that brought me closer and closer to understanding the workings of my childhood robotic heroes. Having been in the field, shes eager to dispel the thought that robotics and automation are fields only for men. The skills required to be successful can be attained irrespective of what gender you are, she said. Yakoob sees a role for herself and her robots beyond manufacturing, including health care, hospitality and farming: I would like to contribute toward applying robotics in assistive technologies, such as smart prosthetics, in improving the quality of life for the increasingly growing senior population and applying robotics and automation in enabling indoor farming, making healthy, affordable food available to all.

Nelson Shea lives by advice that is helpful to anyone: Get involved in trade organizations. For her, becoming involved in developing standards for robotics safety provided terrific networking opportunities. Clearly a joiner, Nelson Shea is a lifetime member of SMEand enjoys benefits like great conferences, networking, and speaking opportunities, she said. Partly through her efforts, Nelson Shea said the United States took the lead on robot safety. I was part of a team of people who deeply believedthat automation could be done in a safe way that would work well for the people interfacing with the equipment while having high productivity, she said. I believe that having a strong robot safety standard contributed to the success of the industrial robotics market. There is more to come, she said, citing a quote from John Lizzi, executive director of robotics at GE Global Research. We see robots, and specifically industrial robotics, as moving through three phases: robots as tools to robots as partners and, ultimately, to robots that sustain the things we care about.

Hawkes spotted the shift to people ordering online for home delivery early. She knew it would be a major growth area. That allowed her to leverage my path to go into supply chain management, but traditional tactics werent exciting, she said. The innovation was happening in robotics and automation. I wanted to be a part of that. Hawkes joined 6 River Systems (6RS) in 2018 and got to work improving its services and warehouse products. This made 6RS well positioned to support its customers when the pandemic hit. I am proud to have contributed to not only improving efficiencies but maintaining safety in our customers workplaces and keeping the supply chain moving, she said. Next, Hawkes would like to democratize robotics and automation in the marketplace. If 6RS could have touchpoints in large fulfillment centers, shopping centers and even in small local businesses, she said, I would consider that a massive achievement.

About eight years ago, Lau began looking for more impactful work. Inspired by a project at Willow Garage that enabled people with quadriplegia to program robots, Lau joined the robotics research lab for about a year and subsequently turned her professional attention to robots. She started a service robot company with several Willow alum and then established her own firm. While I had spent my life up to that point developing software, I realized that robotics had immense potential to improve peoples lives on a daily basis, she said. Unlike software, which is confined to a screen, robots live out in the human world. Today, Laus robots provide mistake-free, data-driven layout at construction sites that is derived from building information modeling software, improving productivity and the lives of workers, designers and engineers. Our next milestone is truly scaling up our robotics product to get it on every commercial construction site in the U.S., she said. Scaling a robotics product requires a different set of skills, and a different organization versus building the first prototype.

Wises entry into the robotics industry was serendipitous. She joined a team sponsored by Willow Garage founder Scott Hassan building an autonomous vehicle for the DARPA Urban Challenge in 2007. After the vehicle did an autonomous lap around the parking lot of the robotics R&D firm, Hassan soon offered her a job. That kind of real-world demonstration echoes in Wises career accomplishment: building autonomous mobile robots at her company, Fetch Robotics, that function in factories and high-volume distribution centers. In robotics, you can do almost anything one time in a lab and make a video of it, she said. The real challenge is making it work 24/7, with a 99.99 percent reliability rate. Thats what customers want, and thats really hard to do. Her advice to the next generation of female roboticists is to learn to program and join a startup. Women have very difficult career paths in front of them, and they need to put themselves in environments where they have an opportunity to excel outside of regular corporate structures, she said.

Masciantonios work focuses on closing the skills gap in manufacturing. Using ARM-determined competency building blocks, skills profiles and career pathways, she is working to create a nationwide system that matches the competencies and roles required by manufacturers to the education programs and career pathways of the workforce. With ARMs system, students can determine where their strengths are and which capabilities they need to acquire for a successful career in manufacturing. The next step, to be delivered later this year, is to include capabilities to test and certify workers in robotic career pathways. We will create mechanisms for creatively observing and testing their mastery of the competency building blocks, according to ARMs Industry 4.0 Competency Framework, she said. This will facilitate matching between the job seeker and employer. It feels great knowing that the work we accomplish each day helps to strengthen the U.S. economy, serve our warfighters and bring our national manufacturing capabilities to higher levels of maturity, she said.

Caron has worked and studied in French, English and Czech. But impossible to automate doesnt seem to be in her lexicon. In fact, her teams most recent accomplishment was a breakthrough in inspection and removing tedious tasks that others thought were impossible to automate. That recent achievement may help in her teams goal of having all GE Aviation sites think of automation and robotics whenever they introduce a new part or process. That would accelerate their adoption and help maximize their potential impact. We are involved in enabling the sites to reliably and efficiently build and maintain engine components using the latest technology, and we are opening up new possibilities for engineering to refine their designs, she said. Having the sentiment that we are contributing to the advancement of the technology that has an impact on so many people is very rewarding. Looking ahead, she has great hope for AI. It will solve complex issues that are preventing automation and robotics from being suited for the challenges, she said.

Moneza is so fascinated by machines that she finds her thrills by scrutinizing the workings of her ride at Universal Studios rather than passively enjoying it. I try to look through the darkness and see what type of robot they are using and try to understand the rail and the projection systems that make the ride exciting, she said. It genuinely interests me, and I like seeing how things work. Is it any wonder, then, that she sees new opportunities for automation in the aerospace industry for repetitive tasks like drilling, painting, composite fabrication and ultrasonic inspection? She also wants to see more automation in data collection and interpretation. This will allow us to make informed decisions in a timely manner and make changes to design and processes where it is necessary, she said. Even with her fervor for automation, she sees a downside in the workers left behind when machines become automated. This is something that needs to be addressed so we can continue to compete and be at the cutting edge of manufacturing technology, she said.

As a girl, Keay did not envision a career in techeven though her family acquired their neighborhoods first PC. Now, she wants to see a thriving and sustainable robotics industry in Australia. This means not only supporting creators of robotics and robotics-related technologies but also supporting government and corporates to adopt robotics, she said. Robotics is part of the broader AI and technology sector and cannot succeed unless we have support for both AI and the tech sector more broadly. Six years ago, she set up the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision, the worlds first such center. She led efforts to create Australias first Robotics Roadmap in 2018 and last year established a firm to represent the industry sector. In 2019, she made it her mission to bring the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing to Australia as the Hopper Down Under. She now leads her Australian states AI hub.

Laudas career path demonstrates the value of internships. In high school, her math teacher encouraged her to become an engineer. But it wasnt until she apprenticed for a diesel engine maker that the assembly line and CNC machines sparked her interest. I went back to college a few years later. I was eager to become a manufacturing engineer, she said. During her career at agriculture machinery and equipment maker AGCO, she led a small team of engineers that created a tool to allow manufacturing engineers at plants in the U.S., Italy and Brazil to collaborate remotely in creating a Manufacturing Bill of Materials, the Bill of Process and the electronic work instructions for a new harvesting combine. Many steps within that tool are fully automated, and the concept reduced the planning efforts at the sites up to 80 percent, she said. The next big goal is to generate a true digital twin of our factories, by merging the virtual with the real operations, and collect smart data that can instantly be turned into higher productivity, safety and quality, she said.

When Greiner saw the original Star Wars movie in 1977, she was immediately smitten. The object of her interest was not Luke Skywalker or Han Solo; It was R2-D2. The girl who drew her inspiration from one of director George Lucas leading actor bots would grow up to be a pioneer in developing robots that can take over mundane or dangerous tasks from humans. She is now the CEO of a weed-controlling, solar-powered robot startup. She previously co-founded iRobot and co-designed its Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner. Roomba has captured about 20 percent of the North American vacuum market. Other Greiner accomplishmentsthe Packbot military robot and the persistent aerial reconnaissance and communications tethered drone systemhave been credited with saving the lives of soldiers and civilians alike. Greiner predicts we will see robots taking over home maintenance jobs, such as lawn mowing, leaf collecting and snow removal. I see continued adoption of robots, driving the virtuous cycle of invention, development and manufacture, she said.

Samsioe sees untapped potential in drones to help solve real-life challenges in natural disasters, disease outbreaks and other situations. For example, GLOBHEs network of crowddroning pilots provide aerial images that, once analyzed, help track mosquito-breeding sites in Malawi for malaria-mitigation efforts. An advanced unmanned aerial vehicle pilot with a masters degree in international disaster management, Samsioe cites as her companys most significant accomplishments its work with the United Nations in disease and natural disaster response and a recently signed contract with a global telecom company. The telecom-related work is to inspect communication towers, helping to keep communities connected as a result. Clearly owning her own success, she said, While many wait for the future to happen, I tend to create the future and get partners and clients onboard the journey. Her frustration is with progress that happens slowly. For example, shes pushing and waiting for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone flights to become legal at scale so drones truly can provide additional value for societies.

As an If/Then Ambassador for the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Elliott is featured in original entertainment and media content. She was overall runner-up in The Big Brain Theorys one-season run on the Discovery Channel. She was an on-camera science expert for the Science Channels Outrageous Acts of Science. And she was featured in a 2012 Wired article about a 3D-printing vending machine she and her team designed and configured while studying at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The machine, DreamVendor, included four MakerBot Thing-o-Matic printers that printed users uploaded design files. Of course, it being a first-generation design, there were several kinks in the system, Elliott said. However, it was a really fun project, and it proved the concept. She has since earned her doctorate in mechanical engineering and wants to bring automation and robotics to additive manufacturing. Even though the machines can build amazing things, there is still quite a lot of manual labor required after the part is built, she said.

For Ciprian, working in robotics means solving an evolving, thought-provoking engineering problem. It is always exciting because youre constantly doing something new, she said. The field is very dynamic, which makes it fun. It is also productive: She led the electrical design of an automated guided vehicle/industrial robot, which took a year from start to finish. Having fun at work is a bonus for her on top of being able to work in such a multidisciplinary field. For example, the power architecture is tightly involved with the mechanical loads of the robot, she said. Also, losses, emissions, temperature profiles and communication robustness are all interrelated. Moreover, it is a field where I can see our contributions to humankind happening in real time. The future of industry will include fleets of robots working collaboratively with humans, she believes, with AI playing a more involved role in tasking. Her advice to other female engineers is to be generous: Socialize your achievements and those of your female colleagues, she said.

Messina is rooted in measurement science and its role in driving research and engineeringand from there her vision for the future of robotics takes off. She wants to see the paradigm of robots as partners and assistants to humans extended and expanded versus seeing them as worker replacements. For this to happen, the world needs more intuitive interaction mechanisms for programming, coordination and communicating status, as well as greater intelligence and dexterity on the part of robots. Robots will no longer need to be taught every move, but rather can be instructed at a high level, similar to how humans who collaborate together agree on a joint task, she said. Similarly, robots will be able to execute their tasks either independently, able to detect changes or failures and recover from them on their own, or, if working jointly with humans, able to safely perform the tasks through observing the humans status, understanding verbal and non-verbal cues. The ultimate result will be the democratization of the use of robotics among enterprises, she said.

When she had two years left to finish her masters in engineering and technology management, Spiten began taking extra courses in entrepreneurship and robotics to figure out where she was headed career-wise. I found the [masters degree] curriculum to have too little hands-on training, she said. How would I know what to specialize in without trying out, and applying theory onto, real problems? She enrolled in a program that included an internship with a startup making underwater drone kits. She wrote her thesis on environmental ocean monitoring with the use of drones, and her career took shape. I started Blueye Robotics with three co-founders, to make the ocean available in new waysand to everyonedriven by the belief that you only take care of what you know and care about, she said. She is now advising the World Wildlife Fund on ocean plastics. As Sir David Attenborough once told me, she said, its not about whether we will survive, but what kind of world we will survive in.

Having earned a masters in manufacturing engineering, Williams has a wealth of book knowledge. But since at least her undergrad years, her education also included practical experience. It was some of that experience, specifically programming a robot in V++ to perform a simple shape-sorting task, that got Williams her first job at Boeing and ignited her passion for working with robotic and automation systems. My first job was programming and supporting a gantry robot doing automated fiber placement that used an Adept [Controls] control, she said. This was very exciting. Although her work focuses on controlling robots, shes also focused on people, including colleagues and the next generation of techies. She has participated in many leadership programs at Boeing, including the Employee Mentoring and Robotics Club. Outside of work, shes been a FIRST Robotics Competition volunteer for 10 years. Her message to girls in FIRST is to get involved early, stay active and embrace every learning opportunity. Its the hardest fun youll ever have, she said.

Breazeal once dreamed of being an astronaut. But she instead chose academia where she could continue to push the envelope in robotics and AI research. Her work is about autonomous robots as a ubiquitous, human-centered technology. I want to contribute the reality of a robot in every home that delivers meaningful value and delight to families, she said. Her biggest accomplishment to date is Jibo, the first social robot featured on the cover of Time. Jibo has since been acquired by another firm. There is tremendous opportunity for social robots as personalized, helpful companions in education, healthcare, aging and wellness. These are areas where emotional engagement, humanized social support and decision support in a personalized way could help address challenges of scalable, affordable, effective interventions for human users that can augment and extend what human professionals provide, she said.

Curry appeared headed for a career as a chemist, but as she worked in the lab, she realized fixing broken equipment was more to her liking than running analyses. So she returned to school for industrial electronics. I was accepted into an internship program at a pharmaceutical nutritional company, which is how I began my career in manufacturing, she said. I have been exposed to various types of automation, including robotics, and have enjoyed working in manufacturing for all of my career. At the pharmaceutical nutritional company, Curry and her team automated hard-wired relay circuitry to PLC systems. This helped improve troubleshooting and reduced repair time. It was amazing to be part of what was emerging technology at the time, she said. The fun didnt stop there. At Toyota, we have teams working on AI and augmented reality to help improve efficiency and eliminate redundant and non-value-added work, she said. I believe this type of technology can be coupled with robots to improve the efficiency of work for employees.

Lets talk about risk and the big picture. Its an appropriate time, as the big risk presented by the COVID-19 pandemic is finally receding thanks to the ongoing vaccination program. COVID is leaving behind an economy that was forced into shutdown one year ago while in the midst of a great expansion, boosted by the deregulation policies. While the new Biden Administration is busy reversing many Trump policies, at least for now the economy is rebounding. And this brings us to risk. A time of economic growth and rebound is a forgiving time to move toward risk investments, as general economic growth tends to lift everything. Two strategists from JPMorgan have recently chimed in, promoting the view that the markets fundamentals are still sound, and that small- to mid-cap sector is going to keep rising. First, on the general conditions, quant strategist Dubravko Lakos-Bujas wrote, Although the recent technical selloff and short squeeze is receiving a lot of attention, we believe the positive macro setup, improving fundamentals and COVID-19 outlook, strength of the US consumer, as well as the reflation theme remain the bigger forces at play. Not only should this drive further equity upside, but it remains favorable for continued rotation into economic reopening Building on this, Eduardo Lecubarr, chief of the Small/Mid-Cap Strategy team, sees opportunity for investors now, especially in the smaller value stocks. We stick to our view that 2021 will be a stockpickers paradise with big money-making opportunities if you are willing to go against the grain Many macro indicators did fall in January but SMid-Caps and equities in general continued to edge higher, Lecubarr noted. And if you are prone to look at high-risk, small- to mid-cap stocks, youll find yourself drawn to penny stocks. The risk involved with these plays scares off the faint hearted as very real problems like weak fundamentals or overwhelming headwinds could be masked by the low share prices. So, how should investors approach a potential penny stock investment? By taking a cue from the analyst community. These experts bring in-depth knowledge of the industries they cover and substantial experience to the table. Bearing this in mind, we used TipRanks database to find two compelling penny stocks, according to Wall Street analysts. Both tickers boast a Strong Buy consensus rating and could climb over 200% higher in the year ahead. CNS Pharmaceuticals (CNSP) We will start with CNS Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology company with a focus on the treatment of glioblastomas, a class of aggressive tumors that attack the braid and spinal cord. These cancers, while rare, are almost always terminal, and CNS is working a new therapy designed to more effectively cross the blood-brain barrier to attack glioblastoma. Berubicin, CNSs flagship drug candidate, is an anthracycline, a potent class of chemotherapy drugs derived from the Streptomyces bacteria strains, and used in the treatment of a wide variety of cancers. Berubicin is the first drug in this class to show promise against glioblastoma cancers. The drug candidate has completed its Phase 1 clinical trial, in which 44% of patients showed a clinical response. This number included one patient who showed a Durable Complete Response, defined as a demonstrated lack of detectable cancer. Following the success of the Phase 1 study, CNS applied for, and received, FDA approval of its Investigational New Drug application. This gives the company the go-ahead to conduct a Phase 2 study on adult patients, an important next step in the development of the drug. CNS plans to start the mid-stage trial in 1Q21. Based on the potential of the companys asset in glioblastoma, and with its share price at $2.22, several analysts believe that now is the time to buy. Among the bulls is Brooklines 5-star analyst Kumaraguru Raja who takes a bullish stance on CNSP shares. Until now, the inability of anthracyclines to cross the blood brain barrier prevented its use for treatment of brain cancers. Berubicin is the first anthracycline to cross the blood-brain barrier in adults and access brain tumors Berubicin has promising clinical data in a Phase 1 trial in recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) and has Orphan drug designation for treatment of malignant gliomas from the FDA. We model approval of Berubicin for treatment of recurrent glioblastoma in 2025 based on the Phase 2 data with 55% probability of success for approval. We model peak sales of $533 million in 2032, Raja opined. CNS pipeline also includes WP1244 (novel DNA binding agent) that is 500x more potent than daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation is expected to enter the clinic in 2021 In vivo testing in orthotopic models of brain cancer showed high uptake of WP1244 by brain and subsequent antitumor activity, the analyst added. To this end, Raja rates CNSP a Buy, and his $10 price target implies room for a stunning 350% upside potential in the next 12 months. (To watch Rajas track record, click here) What does the rest of the Street have to say? 3 Buys and 1 Hold add up to a Strong Buy consensus rating. Given the $8.33 average price target, shares could climb ~275% in the year ahead. (See CNSP stock analysis on TipRanks) aTyr Pharma (LIFE) The next stock were looking at, aTyr Pharma, has a focus on inflammatory disease. Its leading drug candidate, ATYR1923, is a Neuropilin-2 (NRP2) agonist, working through the receptor proteins expressed by the NRP2 gene. These pathways are important for cardiovascular development and disease, and play a role in the inflammatory lung disease pulmonary sarcoidosis. In December, the company reported that the drug candidate had completed enrollment of 36 patients in a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial, testing the drug in the treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis. Results of the current study are expected in 3Q21, and will inform further trials of ATYR1923, including against other forms of inflammatory lung disease. On a more immediate note, in early January the company announced top-line results of another Phase 2 clinical involving ATRY1923 this time in the treatment of patients hospitalized with severe respiratory complications from COVID-19. The results were positive, showing that a single dose of ATYR1923 (at 3 mg/kg) resulted in a 5.5-day median recovery time. Overall, of the patients dosed in this manner, 83% saw recovery in less than one week. Covering LIFE for Roth Capital, 5-star analyst Zegbeh Jallah noted, We like the risk profile here, with two shots on goal, and updated data details from the COVID study is expected in the coming months. Also announced recently, is that data from aTyr's Pulmonary Sarcoidosis program, will be reported in 3Q21 the success of either of these studies could result in a doubling or more of the market cap as these opportunities appear to barely be accounted for by investors. In line with his optimistic approach, Jallah gives LIFE shares a Buy rating and his $15 price target suggests an impressive 277% potential upside for the coming year. (To watch Jallahs track record, click here) Other analysts are on the same page. With 2 additional Buy ratings, the word on the Street is that LIFE is a Strong Buy. On top of this, the average price target is $13.33, suggesting robust growth of ~236% from the current price of $3.97.

NTHU Researchers Take Robotics to the Next Level - Yahoo Finance

Olivia Crisafi, Victor Han, Erin Crisafi and Camille Gammack| Special to the Concord Journal

In a traditional season, the GearTicks, Lincolns high school robotics team, meet nearly every day in their coachs basement: designing the robot in CAD software, programming the robot in Java and organizing outreach events with our community. This year, they have been forced to adapt to new methods of sharing ideas, working together and designing, all from home.

One solution they figured out was fairly simple. Three times a week, during their usual scheduled in-person meeting times, the GearTicks all join a Google Meet and discuss their ideas, progress and goals. Different parts of the robot come together at different team members' homes, and gradually their robot starts to resemble a robot built any other year.

The greater challenge came with switching community STEM events to a virtual setting. In previous years, the GearTicks held STEM nights, created and mentored FIRST teams of other levels and attended STEM events. With every traditional option indefinitely on hold, the GearTicks began to plan ways to make STEM accessible even during the pandemic.

One of our favorite outreach events every year is our Legopalooza, said Prerna, a junior on the team. We love the opportunity to share our love for STEM with the students and see the work theyve done throughout their season.''

The Lincoln Legopalooza has been a space to celebrate STEM learning for the towns FLL Explore robotics teams. In past years, the event has been held in the Brooks Gym, and Lego robotics teams from Lincoln and surrounding towns gather to present their Lego models to a group of reviewers, and win custom laser cut trophies. Just as the GearTicks have been able to move online, they have carried one of their favorite events online with them. This year, the GearTicks third annual Lincoln Legopalooza will be held virtually at the beginning of April. Teams will be able to virtually present their Lego models and participate in fun virtual activities!

The Lincoln Legopalooza is the culmination of the FLL Explore season. FLL Explore is a fun, easy-to-run program that introduces young children to the world of robotics. FLL Explore teams, composed of two to six kids ages 6 to 10, build a model out of Legos and program a moving component with simple block programming. A full, easy-to-understand curriculum is provided by FIRST, so the program can be run by a mentor (a parent, grandparent, etc) with no technical background. FIRST provides meeting guides for coaches and workbooks (engineering notebooks) for team members.

FLL Explore is a great opportunity for children to learn teamwork skills, build self-confidence, knowledge and life skills while having fun! This program is perfect to run as a family, with a group of close friends, or even virtually following in the GearTicks footsteps.

If your child is interested in FLL Explore, contact the GearTicks; there is still time to participate in FLL Explore and the Legopalooza! The GearTicks have experience with the FLL Explore program and have offered mentorship for anyone interested in starting a team. They can be contacted at hello@gearticks.com. More information about FLL Explore can be found at http://gearticks.com/fll-explore, https://youtu.be/Sq6w3jYVR8k and http://firstinspires.org/robotics/fll/explore/challenge-and-season.

Students find virtual robotics opportunities during the pandemic - Wicked Local

A Hong Kong-based robotics company says it plans to mass produce thousands of humanoid robots in 2021.

Hanson Robotics says four different humanoid models will start leaving factories during the first half of the year. One of the four is a robot named Sophia, which has received worldwide attention in recent years for looking and speaking in a very human-like way.

The companys founder and CEO, David Hanson, told Reuters the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for robots designed to assist and engage with humans. The world of COVID-19 is going to need more and more automation to keep people safe.

He noted that in the past, many of the companys robots were built by hand. But now, Hanson Robotics is beginning to expand its manufacturing operations.

Hanson said there are currently 24 models of Sophia, which will be used as a basis for creating many other kinds of models. While not providing an exact number, Hanson said the company aims to sell thousands of robots by the end of 2021.

The company says it plans to market its humanoid robots as helpful assistants in the healthcare field. For example, they can be used to take temperature readings to identify possible sickness or perform physical exercises with older people.

Such social robots are powered by machine learning methods and artificial intelligence (AI). They use cameras and sensors to recognize human faces and activities. The robots are built with tools to help them develop their own form of social and emotional intelligence over time.

During a demonstration at the companys lab, one of the Sophia models identified some of the activities it could assist humans with.

Social robots like me can help take care of the sick or elderly in many kinds of healthcare and medical uses.

Hanson said he believes robotic solutions to the pandemic are not limited to healthcare. He said the companys robots are so human-like, they could also serve the public in retail settings or in the airline industry.

The humanoids can be so useful during these times where people are terribly lonely and socially isolated, Hanson said.

I can help communicate, give therapy and provide social stimulation, even in difficult situations.

Johan Hoorn is a social robotics professor at Hong Kongs Polytechnic University. His research has included work on Sophia. He said that, although the technology is still developing, the pandemic could speed up relationships between robots and humans.

I can infer the pandemic will actually help us get robots earlier in the market because people (will) start to realize that there is no other way, Hoorn said.

Products from other major developers in the industry are helping fight the pandemic as well. SoftBank Robotics humanoid robot Pepper was deployed in Europe to identify people who were not wearing face coverings. In China, robotics company CloudMinds helped set up a robot-run field hospital for COVID-19 patients in Wuhan.

The use of robots was already on the rise before the pandemic. The International Federation of Robotics said in a report last year that worldwide sales of professional-service robots had jumped 32 percent between 2018 and 2019.

Company Aims to Produce Thousands of Humanoid Robots in 2021 - VOA Learning English

The robotic dog had to learn how to recover from a fall

First the dog is kicked over, then pushed over, then shoved with a stick. Each time it gets back to its feet.

But don't rush to call the animal welfare authorities - it's a robotic dog undergoing training at Edinburgh University.

Alex Li is the Head of the Advanced Robotics Lab at the university and is among those leading the way in applying artificial intelligence (AI) to robotics.

The AI that controls his dog can cope with situations it has never seen before, like slippery surfaces or stairs.

And if you have ever watched internet footage of robots falling over, then you will appreciate how difficult that is to achieve.

So how did Mr Li and his team train their dog, called Jue-ying, or at least the AI that controls it?

Mr Li likens the process to the way young children are taught to play football. First, they will probably be taught individual skills like passing, dribbling and shooting.

Once they have mastered those basics then they might be let loose in simple matches, where they will learn how to put those skills together to win a game.

That way of learning, which is so natural to humans, is something that companies and researchers are trying to replicate in machines.

The robotic dog was initially taught two skill sets - fall recovery and trotting and walking, and each of those was developed in a different artificial neural network.

Neural networks rely on layers of thousands or millions of tiny connections between nodes, clusters of mathematical computations and can adapt as they are trained.

Those first two skill sets were used as the basis to create others - in total eight neural networks.

If those eight are the players in a football team then the final task was to create a coach - an AI which could bring their skills together to solve certain problems, like getting up from different positions and walking to a target.

The beauty and potential usefulness of the technique is that the robotic dog could be introduced to completely new scenarios, like navigating stairs or a rocky surface, and could make lightning-quick adjustments to stay upright and continue to its goal.

Story continues

It might not sound like much but, Mr Li hopes the method can be developed so that robots can complete much more complex tasks.

"Of course locomotion is cool, you can see the robots running around getting kicked in and getting up. But by the end of the day, you want the robot to do something useful for you," he says.

That will require the addition of features like vision systems and robotic hands, which adds many levels of complexity.

Mr Li's work builds on research by DeepMind Technologies, an artificial intelligence unit of Alphabet (the owners of Google) and based in London.

They have been leaders in a technique called deep reinforcement learning, by which neural networks learn from experience.

Using that technique, DeepMind has developed AI that has beaten human masters at chess and Go as well as becoming a top player at the computer game Starcraft.

Raia Hadsell is the director of the Robotics Laboratory at DeepMind. She says that combining AI and movement has been a different challenge.

"Your actions change the world," she points out. So unlike an AI that, for example, plays chess, a robot doing tasks around the home would have to cope with a shifting environment - imagine a robot doing the washing up and using the last of the washing up liquid.

More Technology of Business

But if this approach can be successfully developed the rewards could be enormous.

"I think that you will start to see robots being used more with humans in a safe way, because you'll be able to interact with these robots a little bit more. So they start to be more capable with doing tasks in the home," she says.

"But probably more significantly, used in parts of industry, agriculture, construction. Imagine being able to enable a farmer with a robot that has general purpose, and could imitate different types of behaviours."

However, don't think you can give up ironing just yet.

"I don't think this is in the next couple of years, but maybe, you know, the next 10 years," Ms Hadsell says.

Mr Li's robotic dog senses the world using feedback from its joints and motors - a relatively simple set of inputs. The outputs are just as simple - the dog walks or trots towards a target.

Nathan Lepora is professor of robotics and AI at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory. He has also been training an AI to move, but not a robotic dog, instead a robotic hand that has a sense of touch.

His AI can recognise objects using an artificial sense of touch. While still in its early days he thinks that training AI to sense its environment and move around is potentially very powerful.

"The AI opens up much more general ways of learning how to control rather than, if you like, handcrafting simple controllers. That's the difference. And that's what the deep reinforcement learning opens up.

"And deep reinforcement learning also gives the capability to use much more complex sensory inputs as well, for that control."

However, it's not going to be easy to train an AI that can control a humanoid robot, equipped with all sorts of different sensors.

"The level of mechanical engineering [involved in] building these robots has kind of gone past our capability to control them, because they're so complicated. And that's the problem that's getting cracked at the moment," says Prof Lepora.

The place: Webster, New York, home of Calvary Robotics and Christopher Grieve, Manager Simulations/VR, Lead Technical Artist, Sales & Marketing, at Calvary.

While Grieve grew up in Webster, hes felt fortunate to call Calvary Robotics his home for the past six years, where he runs the virtual reality and simulation department. Grieve gave host Joe Gemma, Global VP, Sales & Marketing at Calvary Robotics, a rundown of what his department does.

Grieve always loved mechanical drawing and pursued drafting/CAD and technical illustration in college. But, throughout his time in the industry, Grieve learned to apply and blend his expertise with the artistic, technological innovations happening in robotics. The path eventually led to Calvary with VR and simulations.

Simulations is where we create our animated videos, Grieve said. We take the 3D models from engineering, and then well build the geometry in the computer. From there, we can leverage all the work weve done animating and bring it into a video game engine to create VR applications.

From a customer perspective, what are the value adds of simulation and VR capabilities? Grieve said the videos his team generates allows a client, especially one unfamiliar with technical drawings, to gain a hyper-real perspective of how a machine runs at the rate that its supposed to and doing every process that it needs to.

They can see what it is they are going to buy before its engineered and designed. While a customer would need to be onsite at Calvary to experience the VR capabilities, Grieve believes VR is an excellent tool in the arsenal.

It provides clients with a real feel for every aspect of the machine they are purchasing and allows them to make tweaks before a finished product rather than making revisions after the fact.

Advanced Automation: Enter the World of Simulations and VR in Robotics - MarketScale

Twenty teachers from throughout Elmore County Public Schools gathered at the systems central office on Monday for a day of robotics training.

From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., teachers who serve as robotics coaches at their respective schools engaged in training through an Auburn University program called S.C.O.R.E. -- Southeastern Center of Robotics Education.

The goal of the day was to help the teachers feel comfortable leading their robotics teams. The teachers learned about the resources available to them, VEX IQ competition basics, how to choose their competition teams, what to do at practices and goal setting. At the end of the day, they participated in a mini-tournament for the VEX IQ game called Rise Above.

Tracy Wright, the districts STEM director, said the robotics professional development training aligns with the districts initiative to have at least two robotics teams at each of its middle and elementary schools.

Right now, we have robotics teams at all of the high schools and some of the middle schools, Wright said. Now were becoming more uniformed and offering robotics teams at all elementary and middle schools. Each school will have at least two teams consisting of at least four students per team.

Wright said the teams can exist in the form of an after school club or an in-school enrichment opportunity. It is up to each school to decide what works best for them.

The district was able to expand its robotics team offerings thanks to two grants, the Alabama Robotics Competition Grant and the Google Buddy grant. It was through the Google Buddy grant that the district gained access to the training offered by S.C.O.R.E.

Each grant offers STEM-related professional development opportunities, as well as robots, robot parts, a curriculum and chances to compete. The teachers present at Mondays training will participate in the VEX IQ Challenge through the Google Buddy grant.

Through Google Buddy, teachers also have access to Google employees and can arrange to talk to them for advice and guidance. Eclectic Middles library media specialist Amy Harrell is set to speak with a Google employee on Wednesday.

I have a Zoom meeting with Conrad from Switzerland on Wednesday, she said. Hes going to coach me on how to be a better coach. This is program is literally connecting us to people around the world.

Holtville Middle School eighth grade science teacher Stacy Chancellor said one of her favorite things about the program is that all of the needed materials are provided.

You are supplied with what you need, so every team comes into the competition on the same playing field, Chancellor said. Its not about how much money a school has.

Matthew Buckley, S.C.O.R.E. program administrator, and Jennifer Spencer, S.C.O.R.E. assistant director explained that although the robots are provided, they are very customizable. There are certain preset robot designs that teams can use or they can come up with their own design.

Throughout the competition season, Spencer said its common for teams to tweak their robots to make them work better. Sometimes, teams end up with a robot thats a lot different from the one they started with, but thats precisely the point.

Our overall vision for the robotics teams is that we want our students to be able to define and solve their own problems versus simply solving ones in textbooks, Wright said. Students who can do this come up with innovative and creative ideas. Were trying to help them develop 21st-century skills and were preparing them for jobs that havent even been invented yet.

Aside from improving problem-solving and critical thinking skills, robotics teams also help cultivate soft skills like teamwork, collaboration and respect for each others ideas, which can be a constant battle with middle school students, according to Chancellor.

After playing Rise Above, where the objective of the game is to use the robot to move cylindrical structures into designated squares, Eclectic Elementary teacher Emily Wells she has a new appreciation for the tasks that students take on.

This was my first time participating in any sort of robotics competition and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but the kids are going to be so much better than us, she said.

Harrell added that playing the game helped her get a better understanding of the game and its rules.

Playing the game gave me a better understanding of how to help the kids, she said. Seeing all of this will also help me make my goals more clear for my students. My robotics teams are set and were preparing to start competing this spring.

Jim Coleman reveals how robots are finding their way into the construction workflow

In 2020 Boston Dynamics and Trimble announced a strategic alliance, giving Trimble the opportunity to sell an integrated robot solution to the construction sector. As with any technological development, expectations are that robotics and autonomy, combined with disruptive developments such asthe Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, Big Data and machine learning, will lead to certain roles within the engineering and construction realm changing. However, robots will not be taking over entire industry workflows any time soon.

With the introduction of any new technology to automate tasks, there is among certain groups an inherent fear that it will lead to job losses. Most initiatives that drive automation in the engineering and construction industry are geared towards raising productivity, efficiency and safety and can actually bring new jobs and new roles. The integrated Boston Dynamics/Trimble solution is no different. It is based on the Spot robot platform, a four-legged mobile robot specifically designed to navigate difficult terrain thanks to its four legs, which enable the machine to climb stairs or operate in the dirt. It has proven to be a great tool for hazardous environments in excavation or building construction, but also in other sectors that have high-risk projects. The robot is not totally autonomous as it is remote controlled by use of a tablet (and stereo cameras) as standard, but it already offers the capability to program repeatable autonomous missions. Equipped with a Trimble 3D scanner and/or a GNSS module it would have the terrain-agnostic capabilities needed in the typically dynamic setting of a construction site, giving it the possibility to navigate obstacles in order to fulfil a programmed task.

The robot can be applied to routine tasks such as daily site scans, progress monitoring, asset management, and remote support. In these cases there is direct communication with a cloud-based construction management application so the mobile technology can feed back information to the construction environment. In fact one of the main drivers behind Boston Dynamics go-to-market strategy for Spot, was the realisation that much of the construction sector still suffers from a data gap and is in need of technology to push efficiency of job sites. Spot will be able to provide consistent output, deliver improved efficiency on repeatable tasks, with the robot e.g. taking on the site scanning night shift and delivering scans and pictures to be checked by the supervisor in the morning, enabling up-to-date as-built data analysis which helps reduce the amount of rework.

Fitting in robots into the construction workflow also raises some practical side issues, such as the need to manage a fleet of these novel devices, i.e. how to run maintenance schemes without interrupting workflows. And on the level of workflows the deployment of robots within the construction domain leads to new high-tech challenges around IoT. The amount of sensors that are being deployed and the further deepening and granularity of techniques such as BIM, add to the robots situational awareness, giving it the ability to better understand its environment and the changes that happen within its surroundings. But it also means that robotics need to be fully integrated into the larger ecosystem through a trusted exchange of data from the robot with a rapidly developing and exponentially growing cloud.

For the construction surveying community the introduction of robotics means that even more focus will shift towards tasks that require human insights and that as of yet cannot be captured in algorithms. Over the years, technology has put a lot of extra intelligence in the hands of people, helping teams reach human assertions and decisions on the big issues. On how and where to build with minimal impact within the rapidly urbanising environment, or on how to maintain stringent data quality in a developing IoT environment. Leaving the dull, dangerous and dirty tasks to machines.

Robots in the real world - Engineer Live

By Matthew Stock

(Reuters) - A dog-like robot named Spot, seen dancing in a viral video, can now not only bring your slippers, it can pick up dirty laundry, open doors and even plant flowers.

U.S. robotics company Boston Dynamics on Tuesday unveiled a new version of four-legged Spot with an arm and the ability to charge itself, allowing it to work around the clock.

Spot went on sale last June, starting at $74,500. Now over 400 robots are working around the world, including on a factory floor at Ford Motor Corp and helping with oil rig inspection for BP Plc.

The new arm with a gripper at the end was top of the wish list for many clients, said Michael Perry, vice president of business development for Boston Dynamics.

"The moment that it can sense the world and interact with it based on what it's sensing, that starts opening up a wide variety of new applications for Spot," Perry told Reuters, while conceding the dexterity of Spot's gripper is "several degrees away from the fine motor skills we would expect from a human hand."

Spot's arm was teased in a video showing Spot dancing alongside other Boston Dynamics robots to the song "Do You Love Me?". The YouTube video has nearly 28 million views since its release on Dec. 29. (https://bit.ly/3awg4Uo)

Hyundai Motor Group recently agreed to buy a controlling stake in Boston Dynamics from SoftBank Group Corp in a deal that values the robot maker at $1.1 billion.

Perry believes the public will soon embrace robots as tools to make life easier.

"Five years from now when Spot is doing a last 100-metre food delivery, they're not going to be thinking, 'oh, that's a scary robot'. They're going to be thinking, why didn't my burrito get here faster? We're hoping that that day comes pretty soon."

Insights on the Surgical Robotic Systems Global Market to 2026 - Industry Analysis and Forecasts - GlobeNewswire

Robotic surgery continues to push the envelope in lung cancer treatment, according to Ziad Hanhan, MD, MPH, FACS, who emphasized the importance of allowing surgeons to evaluate patients to determine eligibility for such a procedure.

A few decades ago, we used to utilize open surgery across all disciplines. As we learned to put more cameras in body cavities, [these procedures] became more video assisted, which allowed us to remove the tumors with less trauma to the walls of the body, explained Hanhan. In the past 10 to 15 years, we have seen more widespread use of robotic techniques, which provide us with better visualization, more feedback on whats going on with 3D imaging, and more articulation of the instrumentation to do what we need to do in the chest cavity.

In an interview with OncLiveduring the 2020 Institutional Perspectives in Cancer webinar onLung Cancer, Hanhan, a thoracic surgical oncologist at Hackensack Meridian Bayshore Medical Center and Riverview Medical Center, highlighted the evolution of surgery in the field of lung cancer, the advantages associated with robotic techniques, and the crucial role of the surgeon in determining eligibility for these approaches.

Hanhan: Nationwide, we are really emphasizing the importance of screening for lung cancer in appropriate patients. In recent years, we have seen the widespread use of CT scans, which have led to [the identification of] more nodules that need to be worked upwhether thats a biopsy, straight resection, or more imaging. Serial imaging can follow if there is any nodule growth.

Fundamentally, thoracic surgeons will use CT scans and rely on that for information. Localization techniques also help if we have to go straight to resection. In other cases, were going after ground glass-opacities that we cant palpate, so we use different techniques to localize them before resection.

With the advent of robotics, because we're doing very small incisions, one of the main disadvantages is that we're not able to palpate the nodules. As you could imagine, to get a human hand in, you would need a pretty large incision in between the ribs to be able to palpate the nodules. The tradeoff is we need to have better localization to palpate the nodules.

However, there are certain nodules that you can't palpate, so you have to correlate with the anatomy and resect or localize. There's navigational bronchoscopy, which utilizes a magnetic field, and a GPS-type technology to guide a catheter to the nodule. Then, you can inject 2 different types of dye: methylene blue or indocyanine green. We are then able to localize and resect the nodules.

One advantage of robotics is that there is less trauma to the chest wall. You don't have to spread the ribs to get hands in there. The video-assisted technique typically involved the larger incisions, as well; we call this the utility incision. With robotics, increased visualization is key. [You get a] better sampling of lymph nodes, which allows you to stage the cancers more appropriately. You see better and, therefore, you can get a more thorough harvest of the lymph nodes from the mediastinal lymph node stations; thats advantageous.

One can speculate that, as we conduct better studies in terms of tumor genetics, the future may actually be immunotherapy-based, which could give surgery more of a salvage role. However, who knows? In 30 or 40 years, if were operating on these tumors, it could also be genetic based, where patients receive an injection in the tumor or take a pill that blocks the tumor growth mechanism.

With robotic surgery, were pushing the envelope. At this point, [surgery is] still the standard of care for early-stage lung cancer. I've operated on patients who would not pass the eyeball test. For example, Ive operated on a woman who was in great shape, but 91 years old. This patient was excited; she did her research, wanted robotic surgery done, and she did very well.

I would tell the medical community, as a whole, that robotic surgery is very well tolerated. I would also emphasize the importance of allowing surgeons to evaluate these patients. I believe that many times, a medical doctor will see some of the patients that I have, those who were able to get through an operation [but they might not say that] they are not a candidate.

In addition, with surgery as opposed to nonsurgical treatments like targeted radiation or microwave ablation of tumors, there is a subset of patients that we miss with regard to accurate staging because we dont harvest any lymph nodes. Recently, Ive had 2 patients where the PET scan did not show any nodal uptake of disease in the mediastinum. However, on pathological examination, after we examined the lymph nodes, we saw that they were positive. This means these patients went from stage I disease to stage III disease and now they are going to receive chemotherapy. Had those patients just received non-invasive CyberKnife therapy or microwave ablation, a treatment window may have been missed.

Hanhan Highlights How Robotic Techniques Have Shifted Surgical Care in Lung Cancer - OncLive

Orthopedic Surgeon Mark Goethe, M.D., creates a unique surgical plan by using 3D digital modeling available through the CORI Surgical System (source: MidMichigan Health)

The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons estimates knee replacement surgeries are expected to increase a staggering 180 percent between now and 2030 in the United States. In preparation for this dramatic increase, MidMichigan Medical Center Midland recently expanded its comprehensive musculoskeletal offerings to include robotics-assisted knee surgery. Orthopedic Surgeon Mark Goethe, M.D., recently performed MidMichigans very first robotics-assisted knee replacement surgery using the CORITMSurgical System. This unique system, developed by Smith+Nephew, uses handheld robotics-assisted technology designed to help orthopedic surgeons plan and perform total and partial knee replacement procedures.

This system allows us to create a customized 3D digital model of the patients knee, said Dr. Goethe. Having this three-dimensional view helps us finalize and verify the selection of the patients knee implant and create a plan for their surgery without the need for either a CT scan or MRI. It also helps us achieve more accurate positioning of the knee implant based on the patients unique anatomy and sends information about the patients knee to the robotics-assisted hand piece at more than 300 times per second.

According to Dr. Goethe, the device allows him to remove arthritic damaged cartilage and bone surfaces, balance the soft tissues around the joint, and more accurately position the appropriately sized implant for better overall alignment. The result is a neutral mechanically-aligned knee joint made from material designed to last longer and feel like the patients own knee, he added.

First Robotics-Assisted Knee Replacement Performed in Midland - WSGW

The advent of Industry 4.0 changed the way industries perform, by transforming them digitally. Businesses embraced automation in workplaces to enhance productivity and reduce operational costs. Automation is a key ingredient to enhance business growth and agility in the current scenario. There have been speculations about AI and robots taking over humans and emerging as a threat to human civilization. But these technologies have had a great impact on building the economy and increasing revenue.

Adaptation of robots is a crucial step in achieving fully automated workspace. Robots have been feared for their capacity to fully replicate human intelligence. Many industries across the globe have already incorporated robots into their work environments to minimise labour and maximise work efficiency. A press release by International Federation of Robotics says, the new World Robotics 2020 Industrial Robots report shows a record of 2.7 million industrial robots operating in factories around the world an increase of 12%. Sales of new robots remain on a high level with 373,000 units shipped globally in 2019.

The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFG, the largest bank in Japan had introduced a humanistic robot called NAO, for customer interactions. Similarly, Amazon is known to have incorporated several robots in its warehouse operations that work along with human employees. Investing in robots can benefit business growth in many ways. Let us take a look at some of the benefits.

Robots can work in adverse environmental conditions and do not need lighting or ventilation in order to do so. They can take up dangerous tasks which can injure human beings. Since humans getting injured can have serious repercussions, robots are a desirable choice in such situations.

Robots are cheaper and they dont require consistent investment unlike hiring human employees. The costs of robots are now in a decreasing stage and it will further go down once they become popular in workplaces.

Humans and robots can work complementing each other. Robots are capable of doing tasks faster than humans with utmost precision. Less human intervention will result in minimal errors. Robots share the workload of human employees by taking over mundane tasks that need less human brain intervention.

Robots are complex in nature and hence it needs a lot of skill and time to programme robots. Complexities in the robots complicate working operations which can act as a potential risk for the products and the machines involved. Robots in the present scenario are expensive and this disables many small enterprises from adopting them, which in turn increases competition in markets. High maintenance costs of robots can doom the company in bankruptcy.

It is still difficult for robots to do all tasks on their own. Robots need to be monitored by humans most of the time and do complex tasks that cannot be performed by the robot hands.

Communication of the robots with other robots or a centralised control system can create standoffs between robots. Advanced automation is necessary for the robots to efficiently enable interoperability in workspaces. For instance, a report in Wired mentions Changi General Hospital in Singapore that has employed robots often face standoffs without knowing how to navigate. The report says that to alleviate these standoffs, the hospital uses software developed by Open Robotics, to let robots from different manufacturers talk to each other and negotiate safe passage.

AI and robots are blamed for taking over jobs, thus increasing unemployment rates. The advent of robots will minimise manual labour and this can cost jobs. There are a lot of mundane and repetitive tasks like customer care interactions which have huge manpower involved.

Inspection Robotics in Oil and Gas Market 2020 Report Forecast By Global Indust - Business-newsupdate.com

MIDLAND The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons estimates knee replacement surgeries are expected to increase a staggering 180 percent between now and 2030 in the United States. In preparation for this dramatic increase, MidMichigan Medical Center Midland recently expanded its comprehensive musculoskeletal offerings to include robotics-assisted knee surgery. Orthopedic Surgeon Mark Goethe, M.D., recently performed MidMichigans very first robotics-assisted knee replacement surgery using the CORITM Surgical System. This unique system, developed by Smith+Nephew, uses handheld robotics-assisted technology designed to help orthopedic surgeons plan and perform total and partial knee replacement procedures.

This system allows us to create a customized 3D digital model of the patients knee, said Dr. Goethe. Having this three-dimensional view helps us finalize and verify the selection of the patients knee implant and create a plan for their surgery without the need for either a CT scan or MRI. It also helps us achieve more accurate positioning of the knee implant based on the patients unique anatomy and sends information about the patients knee to the robotics-assisted hand piece at more than 300 times per second.

According to Dr. Goethe, the device allows him to remove arthritic damaged cartilage and bone surfaces, balance the soft tissues around the joint, and more accurately position the appropriately sized implant for better overall alignment. The result is a neutral mechanically-aligned knee joint made from material designed to last longer and feel like the patients own knee, he added.

Robotics-assisted knee replacement surgery using the CORI Surgical System combined with the features and benefits of Smith+Nephews implant can lead to the following patient benefits:

- Quicker, smoother recovery.

- Regain function faster and return home sooner.

- The surgeon is able to create a unique surgical plan by using 3D digital modeling to get a plan customized to the patients unique anatomy. This means the surgeon can perform the procedure more accurately than traditional knee replacement surgery.

- A natural fit. Using these technologies patients can keep more of their natural bone and ligaments, including the ACL. This helps maintain more of a natural rhythm and step.

- The surgeon is able to choose from the widest selection of implants available, so implants can be precision-matched to feel more like a patients own knee.

We are very excited to bring this advanced technology to the Great Lakes Bay Region, said Orthopedic Surgeon John Murphy, D.O., musculoskeletal service line chief for MidMichigan Health. We are offering robotics-assisted surgery based on the overall potential benefits to our patients. Robotics-assisted knee replacements can be performed by your MidMichigan orthopedic surgeon. We encourage you to discuss options with your orthopedic surgeon to determine the best plan for you.

So many robots work at Changi General Hospital in Singapore that until recently it wasnt uncommon to find two delivery bots sitting in a hallway or outside an elevator in a standoff.

Such impasses used to happen several times a day, says Selina Seah, who directs the hospitals Center for Healthcare Assistive and Robotics Technologies. Unsure how to move around another object, or human passersby, the robots would simply freeze, each waiting for the other to move first. The humans would have to actually go down and pull them apart, she says.

Seah says Changi has about 50 robots, from eight manufacturers. As at other hospitals, robotic systems assist professionals with delicate surgical procedures and guide patients through surgery and rehabilitation exercises. At Changi, dozens of mobile robots also perform tasks like cleaning or delivering medication, supplies, and patient notes. But theyre not good at communicating with one another.

The standoffs at Changi offer a glimpse of a future problem for many businesses, as multiple robots, from different makers, struggle to navigate within the same busy spaces. Besides health care, robots are rapidly being adopted in manufacturing and logistics and are starting to appear in stores and offices.

To alleviate the standoffs, Changi is using software developed by Open Robotics, a nonprofit, to let robots from different manufacturers talk to each other and negotiate safe passage. Open Robotics maintains the Robot Operating System (ROS), open-source software that is widely used to develop commercial and research robots; the software Changi is using allows robots not based on ROS to communicate as well.

Open Robotics hopes such free and easily modified software will be widely adopted and enable greater interoperability of workplace robots. Open source has real potential to allow lots of different organizations to work together, says Morgan Quigley, a cofounder of Open Robotics and its chief architect.

Worldwide shipments of robots have grown steadily over the past decade or so, though theyve slowed recently due to trade tensions and the pandemic. The number of industrial robots, such as the robotic arms found on manufacturing lines, in use rose 85 percent to 2.7 million in 2019, compared with 2014, according to the International Federation of Robotics, an industry group. Sales of new industrial robots fell in 2019, but sales of service robots, including delivery and cleaning bots, rose 32 percent that year, according to the IFR.
