Eureka Robotics, a spin-off company from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, introduced a new robot that can hold delicate optical lenses and mirrors with care and precision, just like a human hand. The robot, named Archimedes, is a six-axis robotic arm, which is capable of slotting lenses and mirrors of multiple sizes into a custom loading tray to get them ready for coating.

The robotic arm can assist in eliminating defects in production and improves productivity. And it will be a boon to the manufacturers for optical products like cameras, medical imaging, and eyewear.

The 6-axis robot arm is controlled by algorithms that leverage Artificial Intelligence in order to plan its motion and how much force to exert in its grip to create a system that can mimic the ability of human fingers and the visual acuity of human eyes. Archimedes is built by the same NTU team who developed “IKEA Bot” last year which garnered lots of international buzzes when it assembled an IKEA chair autonomously in less than 9 minutes.

The Eureka Robotics founder and NTU Associate Professor Pham Quang Cuong said “With Archimedes, we have taken accuracy to the tens-of-micron level. Its accuracy of placing objects is within a tenth of a millimetre, yet it does so with the gentleness of human touch, made possible by our control algorithms.”

The HA-HA (High Accuracy – High Agility) Concept

Archimedes is different from other robots currently utilized in the industry, which have either high accuracy but low agility where robots perform the same movements repeatedly, or low accuracy but high agility, such as robots handling packages of different sizes in logistics, the company said. This 6-axis armed robot is among the first robots with High Accuracy – High Agility (HA-HA) to be deployed on the manufacturing floor.

The NTU team already demonstrated the HA-HA concept in the “IKEA Bot” that assembled an IKEA Stefan chair in 8 minutes and 55 seconds. It encompassed a 3D camera and two robotic arms equipped with grippers that could be able to pick up tiny objects such as a wooden peg and slot them into holes with sub-millimetre precision.

As the Archimedes takes a few hours to slot delicate optics into a designated tray just like a human operator, it also frees operators to focus on higher-level tasks after taking three minutes to start the robot on its job.

“Archimedes does laborious and repetitive tasks, so humans can be freed up to do more creative and meaningful work. Companies can then improve productivity, efficiency, work safety, manufacturing outputs while optimising labour,” Pham added.

The healthcare sector in recent times has witnessed more technological innovations such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Robotic Surgery, among others. As, in one side, big data is very significant in the healthcare and enabling patient information more shareable safely and precisely, on the other hand, robots are assisting medical personnel by discharging from routine tasks, making medical procedures safer and less costly for patients.

With the help of big data, a huge amount of information can be stored systematically. Today, doctors and other healthcare practitioners can make informed decisions because they have access to a wide range of data. Conversely, AI is now increasingly helping to improve robot-assisted surgery. The technology is already being utilized to identify diseases more precisely and in their early stages, such as cancer.

AI-Assisted Surgical Robots

Robotic surgery is now real and very soon robo-doctors will take charge and outpace the medical professionals by integrating all the available knowledge in all medical repositories. Robots have the potential to alter the end of life care, assisting people to remain independent for longer, lessening the need for hospitalization and care shelters.

Robot surgeons could soon use AI and healthcare data, like medical imaging or X-rays, to automatically diagnose patients without a physician. Already, AI-assisted robots are helping surgeons with microsurgery. Researchers at the Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands, for example, used an AI-assisted robot to suture microscopically small blood vessels — some as small as .03 millimetres across.

Telemedicine and Remote Patient Care with 5G

Telemedicine continues to shift from the edge of healthcare to the mainstream. And with 5G wireless networking, it is becoming possible now. Telemedicine in such conditions when patients need immediate care but no doctor is available can be a life-saver. In rural areas, its significance is more notable, saving more lives. While telemedicine and remote patient monitoring require networks to support real-time, high-quality video and audio, 5G promises to improve network speeds to nearly 20 times faster than 4G.

In many cases, 4G speeds are not enough to support telemedicine as connection speeds limit to wired access, making it less beneficial in rural areas with undersized internet infrastructure. 5G network is also likely to expand the reach of online programs, enabling patients for quicker access to doctors, or the ability to talk to specialists.

Big Data Management for Healthcare

Previously, the vast amount of healthcare data was stored as hard copy and they have the capability to support a wide array of care facilities and medical functions. But moving towards digitization has given to the birth of big data technology in the healthcare industry. In the past few years, big data technology has been widely adopted in healthcare centers and clinics globally. However, as big data helps in storing huge volumes of data systematically, privacy concerns also become a more significant threat.

These concerns slowed down the adoption of mobile and digital tools to manage client data. With the fear of being breached, several healthcare providers now rely on third-party software. But still, there have been relatively few healthcare data breaches, impelling the potential risks. Better data management here can aid caregivers and healthcare systems to avoid such threats and improve patient care efficiently.

The United States Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is upgrading its Legged Locomotion and Movement Adaptation (LLAMA) robot, with an effort to boost speed and mobility through system weight reduction. In mid-September, the US-ARL divulged the autonomous quadruped system, highlighting its ability to work in concert with soldiers, easing their physical workloads and augmenting their mobility, protection, and lethality.

As the system was developed as part of ARL’s Robotics Collaborative Technology Alliance (RCTA) initiative, this programme initially focused on wheeled and tracked platforms along with the development of the intelligence and perception of autonomous systems. According to ARL research Engineer Jason Pusey, a quadruped robotic platform would provide new mobility options in support of dismounted soldiers. “The goal is to effectively develop a ‘robotic dog’ that works as part of a team with human operators,” he added.

While the first version of LLAMA weighs about 85 kg, a new 75 kg variant is currently in the developing phase. This lower weight allows increased mobility along with greater speed and endurance. However, the use cases for LLAMA have not yet been fully defined, but Army Research Laboratory is targeting roles in surveillance and as a platform that can carry payloads, enabling soldiers to offload some of their gear onto this particular platform.

Legged Locomotion and Movement Adaptation (LLAMA) robot would be able to operate as part of a soldiers’ group but it would also have the capacity to function autonomously. The soldiers could give the robot a command, for instance, to travel to a certain point, and LLAMA would perform this independently.

The US Army Research Laboratory is not just focused on the mobility of the system but on its intelligence as well. Both aspects are significant to enable the robot to navigate more complex terrain, a key demand for the quadruped design.

This is not the first time the US Army is experimenting with robots for their squad. Recently, a business unit of General Dynamics – General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) – revealed its proposal for the U.S. Army’s Robotic Combat Vehicle acquisition project.

As part of the Army’s Next-Generation Combat Vehicle program, the new Robotic Combat Vehicles (RCVs) will join the ‘big six’ priorities of the service that consists of long-range precision fires, Future Vertical Lift, the network, air and missile defense, and Soldier lethality.

As per the reports, the new combat vehicles also will have cutting-edge features such as a remote turret for the 25 mm main gun or more lethality weapon systems, 360-degree situational awareness cameras and advanced remote stations. These RCVs will also be able to keep pace with soldiers and other armored vehicles during off-road maneuver and movement on paved streets and highways.

According to the International Federation of Robotics, the Indian market for robots grew at a compound annual growth rate of 18 percent between 2012 and 2017. There were nearly 3,412 industrial robots sold during the period, which was 30 percent higher than the previous year. However, as the machines are fast making inroads into the MSME sector, India has an unemployment problem due to the creeping intrusion of cheaper and better robots into factory shop-floors.

Over the last few years, prices of industrial robots have halved in real terms, while this will also decline another 65 percent by 2025, as market study reports noted. Currently, industrial robots are becoming not just cheaper, but also more capable and comprehensible.

For instance, Vienna-based world’s largest brick-maker Wienerberger took its first step into Asia and invested in India an INR 250 crore to develop its business in the country. To date, the plant produces around 70,000 blocks of hollow, chocolate-smooth blocks a day, the equivalent of 6 lakh conventional bricks and its entire operation is completely robotised. Robots are also used to be the preserve of large companies, like Hyundai and Maruti, but not anymore.

In Asia’s other region, the Chinese market for robots presently is said to be around 250,000 pieces a year that is likely to quadruple in the coming days. And the market will be largely attributed by Fanuc, the Japanese robot manufacturer, which is setting up a plant to make a million robots a year in China, only for the Chinese market.

Automation, certainly, is no unfamiliar to shop-floors as a large number of factories across the world and India has been leveraging computer numerical control (CNC) machines for years. These machines enable operators to feed a program of instructions directly into a computer through a small board. Once the required tools loaded in the system, the rest is done automatically by the CNC machines that make use of these instructions to control machineries such as the grinder, milling machine, and lathe.

However, as these machines, so far, have been utilized for pick-and-place operations, the next-generation ones can perform a lot more. Universal Robots’ cobots (collaborative robots), for instance, can work alongside humans. This upcoming transformation will leave enduring impacts on India’s workforce, particularly in automotive, textile, and banking and financial services, aside from information technology.

As per a report, robotisation of the Indian manufacturing sector is just rolling out to take place. The nation’s robot density, defined as the number of robots for every 10,000 workers, is 3, while the global average is 74 and that of the most robotised country, South Korea, is 631.

For the last few years, the robotic revolution has altered the world as more companies or businesses are showing their interest in it. As it’s changing individuals’ lives through voice assistants, smart speakers, and speech recognition, bots have yet to infiltrate today’s daily lives at home. That is likely because no one has explored their astonishing application, the use case which is so compelling that individuals flock to buy a robotic companion. However, a new robot called ‘Misty II’ from Misty Robotics is taking the same approach that assisted to make the iPhone so powerful.

Despite seeking to develop a bot along with work out everything that individuals might need to use it for, Misty Robotics is designing the hardware and after which enlisting independent developers and different companies to create skills or abilities for Misty.

These skills could turn Misty into anything from a security robot that roams individuals’ home, to a podcast reader that talks to a person as he/she goes about their morning routine, to a fall detector that can send family members a picture if an aged person occurs to take a tumble.

As per the report, Misty currently costs US$3,200, which is only for developers, though, not consumers now. There is no pre-estimation value on what Misty would cost when it will finally ready for anyone to purchase. However, some reports envisage that it will still be very expensive compared to other robotic gadgets.

Misty Robotics is designed to make a community of thousands of app developers that can build Misty so constructive to individuals that will benefit the still excessive cost of robotics. That’s why developing those skills for Misty will not be limited to robotics professionals. According to the company, a typical software developer should be capable to take the basic tool kit that it offers, including voice recognition, face recognition, autonomous navigation, and mapping, as well as 50 sets of expressive eyes, and use it for whatever situation they can imagine.

Misty Robotics also provides CAD models of the robot where developers can 3D-print their own accompaniments, like a fingerprint sensor, a cup holder, or a temperature sensor, and add them to Misty’s back or arms.

There are several things developers can program for Misty, such as home security, podcast reading, sound suspiciously just like an Amazon Echo or Google Home speaker. The founder of Misty Robotics, Ian Bernstein says that “People basically want to interact more with like a robot like Misty than, say, a tube or something on your desk.”

According to the reports, Misty II began shipping about six weeks ago to the company’s crowdfunding supporters, and now it is available to anyone who is interested in coding it.

Current commercial robots generally contain hard parts that represent a risk to the security of their administrators or there is a point of confinement for their usability. Because of this, soft robots have as of late pulled in impressive consideration, in spite of the fact that their absence of structural inflexibility intensely restricts their utilization in numerous practical applications.

In the course of recent years, analysts have tried to make mechanical robotic personal assistants and bionic limbs or prosthetics that consolidate the strength of regular robots with the flexibility of soft robots. More recently, combinations of cellular structures have demonstrated intriguing advancement toward the enhancement of non-trifling abilities, for example, getting a handle on exceptionally shaped articles. In any case, tuning the mechanical properties of the robotic body for custom applications is still exceptionally challenging.

Recently, a mechatronics graduate at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, has structured 3D-printed humanoid robot “fingers” that copy the quality and delicacy of a human hand. For individuals with mobility difficulties or limb differences, robots outfitted with these flexible fingers could demonstrate significant tools for independent living.

According to Manpreet Kaur, who built up the 3D-printed humanoid fingers as a part of her recent Ph.D. proposal, regulated by mechatronic systems engineering teacher Woo Soo Kim, this field, called soft robotics technology, it takes motivation from nature to make materials for robots that can securely interact with people.

The team came up with 3D-printed polymers built with a novel truss design that can be “tuned” to various rigidities, from soft and rubbery to hard and metallic. By utilizing 3D printing, the robot fingers could be effectively manufactured, permitting the simultaneous incorporation of an actuator, a pressure sensor, and the 3D cell body. Attributable to its properties, the flexible material furnished the robot finger with human-like development, yet additionally with shock and vibration assimilation properties, bringing about an unrivaled protection of the internal electrical parts.

By the goodness of the architectured cellular innovation, the mechanical gripper was fit for taking care of soft objects, for example, bell peppers, tomatoes, and even eggs without breaking or harming them, copying the quality and delicacy of a human hand.

The present commercially available robots are frequently made with hard materials that, when utilized inappropriately, could scratch or pierce their human administrators, or are just awkward to connect with. On the other hand, a large number of the materials that make up alleged soft robots, for example, inflatable or jelly like robots—might be too delicate to even consider carrying loads and can be effectively punctured with normal use and human communication.

Kaur further mentioned that we need something that exploits the flexibility and delicacy of those soft materials but on the other hand is solid and sturdy enough to finish various tasks.

Robotics technology producers and analysts have tried to make robotic personal assistants and bionic limbs or prosthetics that consolidate the sturdiness of regular robots with the tenderness of a soft robot.

The excellence of utilizing 3D printing is that it enables manufacturers to produce the fingers proficiently. The procedure is effectively scalable. What’s more, 3D printing can utilize not so much inefficient but rather more economical materials in the manufacturing itself.

While the 3D printer makes the fingers, it also implants sensors (additionally 3D-printed) that recognize weight and strain, impersonating a human’s capacity to detect the press of a hand.

Future prospects incorporate increasing the mechanical durability of the models to take into account longer lifetimes, which is positively one of the most pressing difficulties. Moreover, significant improvements will require the upgrade of the sensing performance and usage of cutting-edge feedback control frameworks, which could be utilized to perform decision-based tasks.

Machines today are capable of carrying out and performing complex actions better than humans. However, this is not new because these programmed machines or robots have been with us for the last several decades. Now its entrance in medical diagnoses is making significant developments. In the last few years, medical robotics has gained considerable progress and robots have developed for the care of disabled, pharmacies, prosthetics, and simulation, helping surgeons by doing difficult surgeries. But in Vascular surgery, the application of robotics has not developed as rapidly as endoscopic surgery and endovascular technology.

Vascular surgery is a surgery that consists of the diagnosis and comprehensive, longitudinal management of disorders of the arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems, exclusive of the intracranial and coronary arteries.

Robotics Development in Vascular Surgery

In an early effort to create a minimally invasive surgical option for aortic pathology led to the development of laparoscopic aortic surgery. The techniques developed were totally laparoscopic and lap-assisted techniques. However, as a small number of impressive series of laparoscopy-assisted and totally laparoscopic aortic treatments, the technical challenge of this approach seems to thwart vascular surgeons from frequently practicing vascular surgery.

Conversely, the development of endovascular therapeutics made percutaneous treatment a less invasive treatment option with fewer complications. Scientific research and industrial focus further compelled developments in this at a much faster rate, and as of now, a majority of vascular procedures performed are endovascular. Because of its less invasive nature, this treatment has driven patients and physicians to practice an endovascular first approach for many pathologies.

Recently, the Royal College of Surgeons published the Commission on the Future of Surgery to find out the technologies that will make the greatest impact in upcoming years. Already, emerging technologies such as Robotics, AI, and wearables feature heavily and are all in use in medical treatment right now. However, this increasing use leaves the clinical teams with options, such as either becoming innovators, early adopters or consumers.

The latest published commission also stresses on the importance of innovation, while highlighting the significance of team training, patient selection, consent, managing conflict of interest, and outcomes monitoring through well-structured medical records and databases.

Recent Events in Medical Robotics

The adoption of medical robots has grown significantly in minimally invasive procedures as the systems offer various advantages, such as smaller incisions, fewer cuts, decreased scarring, lower pain, enhanced safety, faster recovery periods, and considerable cost savings. Considering reports, a US-based medical device company revealed that over 1.5 million minimally invasive surgeries are performed every year in the US.

Though, some other studies have also divulged several technical difficulties and complications experienced by performing procedures using robotic systems. As per the FDA, surgical robots have linked to more than 144 deaths, over 1,391 injuries, and 8,061 device malfunctions, between 2000 and 2013.

Besides its advantages and disadvantages, the market of medical robots is anticipated to reach from US$5.47 billion in 2017 to US$16.74 billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 21 percent.

Westborough Town Manager Kristi Williams said, “We are thrilled to welcome Amazon Robotics Division to Westborough. The investment of this international company in our community demonstrates the ability of the regional economy and its workforce to attract innovation and technology. We look forward to a strong partnership with Amazon Robotics.”

However, Massachusetts is not new for Amazon as the company has invested more than US$3 billion and generated over 4,000 jobs in the state since 2011. Boston was one of 20 finalists for Amazon’s second North American headquarters and today, the company has 475 open jobs in the area. The region became Amazon’s robotics hub after the acquisition of Kiva Systems, a startup focused on developing automation technology for fulfillment robot centers, for US$775 million in 2012.

Currently, Amazon has deployed over 200,000 drive units in more than 50 fulfillment centers all over the world. Continuing its development, the company in June this year announced two new warehouse robots called Xanthus and Pegasus, intended to assist with automation in the fulfillment centers. Xanthus, in fact, is a complete redesign of the company’s main robots that have been utilized since Amazon’s acquisition of Kiva Systems.

Moreover, Amazon broke ground on a 1-million-square-foot fulfillment center last month in a suburb of Pittsburgh as well as announced plans to open a new fulfillment center in excess of 1-million-square-foot in Channahon, IL.
