Will robots change the way people work, live and learn in the future? This question will be explored during European Robotics Week, which this year will be hosted by the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL), a collaboration between the University of Bristol and UWE Bristol.
Trips and stumbles too often lead to falls for amputees using leg prosthetics, but a robotic leg prosthesis being developed at Carnegie Mellon University promises to help users recover their balance by using techniques based on the way human legs are controlled.
The Ebola virus epidemic in 2014 demonstrated that deadly pathogens can and do cross borders, creating challenges of preparedness for hospitals and healthcare workers. It is critical that healthcare facilities have tools at their disposal that can help combat high risk pathogens. And while the risk of a patient contracting Ebola at a U.S. hospital is low, hundreds of people die every day from hospital acquired infections (HAIs) from microorganisms that are rampant in healthcare facilities, such as Clostridium difficile and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Xenex Disinfection Services today announced it has signed a group purchasing agreement for its patented Germ-Zapping Robot™ technology with Premier, Inc., a leading healthcare improvement company uniting an alliance of approximately 3,600 U.S. hospitals and 120,000 other providers.
Bucknell University junior Michelle Archambault '17 knows well the good and the bad a spine brace can do. Diagnosed with scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine, while in middle school, she wore a rigid plastic brace for 16 hours a day, every day, for five years. It corrected the problem and kept her from needing surgery, but it was not an experience she'd like to repeat.
Paradise Valley Hospital now offers CT-free robotic partial knee replacement surgery for San Diegans. The robotic-assisted surgical system helps surgeons perform precise and accurate partial knee replacement utilizing the most advanced technologies available.
Researchers around the globe who want to customize medical capsule robots won’t have to start from scratch – a team from Vanderbilt University School of Engineering did the preliminary work for them and is ready to share.
Removing tumors from within the inner ear is a very delicate matter that typically requires surgeons to remove the entire mastoid bone. However, in the future, all doctors will need to do is cut a tunnel of 5 mm in diameter through the bone using a miniature robot named NiLiBoRo.
