Seattle Doctor Paints Miniature Pumpkin Using da Vinci Robot
Kristen Austin, OB/GYN (obstetrics and gynecology) physician in Issaquah, Wash. paints a Jack-O-Lantern on a miniature pumpkin using the da Vinci robot to demonstrate how this device gives surgeons greater surgical precision and dexterity over existing approaches. Robot-assisted surgery can offer patients significant benefits over traditional approaches, including less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, faster recovery time and quicker return to normal daily activities. In November 2011, Swedish opens the first full-service hospital to be built in King County, Wash. In nearly 40 years. The hospital will offer da Vinci robot-assisted surgical services at the campus. This is one of six robots within Swedish’s health care system. Swedish is a leader in robot-assisted surgical procedures. Its program has a longstanding, successful track record of performing more prostate, kidney and gynecologic surgeries than any other medical center in the Pacific Northwest region of the US Swedish uses the da Vinci Surgical System to perform minimally invasive urological, gynecological and thoracic surgeries for diseases such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and lung cancer, and to assist in complex gynecologic reconstruction surgeries.

Is anyone else keen on robot miners besides me?

Question by Oggy Boggy: Is anyone else keen on robot miners besides me?
I’m relieved to hear all those trapped miners in Chile made it out unscathed. The oldest one has black lung disease after working in the mine for 50 years. He’s been doing it since age 12. It’s most unsettling to know there are young kids working in that dangerous field.
I don’t know about any of the rest of you, but I hope one day in my lifetime, they’ll start making robots do the miners’ jobs. That way nobody will be buried alive for two months or inhale toxic silicates and other deleterious materials. They can hire the miners to earn a better living by constructing, programming, and operating the robots. Is anyone else keen on this idea besides yours truly?
Best answer:
Answer by The First Dragon
Neither mining nor robotics is my field of expertise; but there is little doubt in my mind that this is going to happen within a few decades. Not as soon as you might wish, but sooner than you might expect.

Use graphical system design to develop the robot used for treatment of cancer
Use graphical system design to develop the robot used for treatment of cancer
Article by Keith Farren
While treating cancer, doctors of oncology department will follow type and morning and evening one of tumour, select the appropriate one from several kinds of treatments. The most common treatment is mere motive force treatment, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone treatment and immunotherapy at present.
PDT is a kind of special phototherapy, ” The phototherapy ” A word refers to all application light in general to produce the treatment helped to the patient’s health. PDT this kind of new technology can kill the problematic organization on condition that injure and organize normally.
Carry on PDT at the treatment, call light sensitive medicine of pharmaceutical, inject, enter patients in vivo a. Light sensitive pharmaceutical is harmless, will not cause influence on the healthy or abnormal organization. However, while coating with the organization of light sensitive pharmaceutical by laser exposure, light sensitive pharmaceutical will be activated, will be very fast if receive the organization of light-struck the ground cover is killed. So the light beam of this technical requirement assembles to the abnormal organization accurately, in order to give play to good curative effect.
Robot
In Lebanon’s university, we have developed a kind of automatic handling robot, its main function includes sweeping the patient’s skin while carrying out PDT treatment fast. The robot will move the laser head by way of geometric figure such as being round or oval, aim it at the patient’s affected part in order to destroy tumour.
It takes 5 kinds of movements to draw the geometric figure on the patient’s body:
3 kinds of translation are operated
Among them Z direction is used for being used in the therapeutic laser head in vertical control
Two kinds of rotary motions
In order to accomplish these five kinds of movements, the command system must produce the command signal, connect the driver of the electrical machinery through the circuit, thus control five corresponding stepping motors.
Command system
National Instruments LabVIEW directly controls four step-by-step electrical machines (X, Y, & theta; With & Phi); Fifth electrical machinery (Z) Controlled by Microchip Technology PICmicro microcontroller. NI PCI-7334 sport control device uses one pair of control device frameworks, by the dealing with device of a piece of central authorities (CPU) And one DSP makes up the backbone of the sport control device.
In driving software of the movement control device, PCI-7334 uses NI LabVIEW programming and Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) The arrangement of China combines together, produces the command signal in order to rotate the electrical machinery. In MAX sets up, we use CW/CCW pulse marching to export and set up; Output and produce CW pulse while moving along the clock first, the second outputs and produces CCW pulse when the anti-clockwise move.
