In July, The Robot Report launched a new program geared toward highlighting unique and interesting startups.

Infios Senior Vice President of Global Robotics John Santagate sits down for an update on the state of supply chain robotics.

During the operation, Johns Hopkins said the robot responded to voice commands from the team, like a novice surgeon working with a mentor.

The award supports the placement of the Virtuoso Surgical System at three of the participating research sites.

Researchers said the successful use of imitation learning to train surgical robots could eliminate the need to program robots with each individual move required during a medical procedure and brings the field of robotic surgery closer to true autonomy.

With a 3-hour, 161-mile flight across the Arizona desert, researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine completed a record-distance medical drone delivery. During the flight, the drone’s payload system maintained the temperature of the human blood samples stored in a temperature-controlled chamber onboard, keeping them viable for lab analysis, according to the findings…

Prosthetic limbs are traditionally awkward, but biomechatronic advances and DARPA funding have led to refinements in sensors, power, and movement.
