Can a robot clean a hospital room just as well as a person? According to new research out of the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, that is indeed the case. Chetan Jinadatha, M.D., M.P.H., assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Medicine and chief of infectious diseases at the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System in Temple, is studying the effectiveness of a germ-zapping robot to clean hospital rooms, which could hold the key to preventing the spread of "superbugs" - in turn, saving countless dollars and, most importantly, lives.

One night, several months after a motorcycle crash paralyzed him from the chest down in 2012 and ended his U.S. Army special-ops career, Roosevelt "R.J." Anderson Jr. had a dream: he could walk again.
Last Thursday the 26th March, Universal Robots participated in the official presentation of the Broca Project’s first prototype, a surgical robot developed in Spain by Tecnalia and the University of Malaga whose aim is to make robotics accessible to all hospitals, and allow surgeons to work with a secure and precise device that enables them to carry out operations that usually require laparoscopy surgery.
Humans have evolved to be incredibly efficient at walking. In fact, simulations of human locomotion show that walking on level ground and at a steady speed should theoretically require no power input at all.
A research team from the University of Houston has created an algorithm that allowed a man to grasp a bottle and other objects with a prosthetic hand, powered only by his thoughts.
