Research At the university of Washington seattle are on their way to
releasing a number of medical robots called Ravens with wing like
arms.
The ravens developed by Blake Hannaford and his colleagues were
developed initially for the American army as a prototype for robotic
surgery on the battlefield. The Ravens are reportedly light compact
and cost around $250,000.
What is unique about the raven is that it is the first surgical robot
to use open source software. Researchers have the option to
experimenting too as the Linux based operating system of the robot
allows anyone to modify and improve the original code. With the help
of Ravens surgeon can make tiny incisions that cause less tissue
damage enabiling the patient to recover. American regulars have not
yet approve the Ravens and as of now, experiments with these robots
are just restricted to animals and human cadavers.
The first ravens were delivered in February 2012 across universities
of America.
