SCHUNK has further expanded its modular system of grippers with the addition of a new integrated distance and presence sensor for SCHUNK’s MPG-plus gripper for small components, and the PGN-plus universal gripper.
In the last few years, Navy scientists, along with research institutions around the world, have been engineering resilient robots for minesweeping and other risky underwater missions. The ultimate goal is to design completely autonomous robots that can navigate and map cloudy underwater environments— without any prior knowledge of those environments — and detect mines as small as an iPod.
At HCA Reston Hospital Center in Mid-Atlantic Region, the first robot-guided spine surgery procedure was successfully performed by spinal experts at the Virginia Spine Institute, Dr. Thomas C. Schuler and Dr. Christopher R. Good.
