To develop robotic surgery in space, NASA will send the Mira robot for experiments aboard the International Space Station. The device, which has performed operations on Earth before, has two arms with a surgical tool at each end.

[EN VIDÉO] Can a medical robot operate on the spine? The robot surgeon Rosa has been accompanying neurosurgeons for brain operations for several years. It has been adapted to another field of medicine: back surgery, specifically that of the spine.
One of the difficulties facing the astronautsAnd what will become a big problem in the future during long space trips, for example to Mars, is access to medical care. For this reason, the POT account send a robotic surgeon aboard the international Space Station (ISS).
Virtual Incision, a start-up from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, has just received a $100,000 budget to prepare its Mira robot for a stay in space. The firm has been working on this robot for almost 20 years. Mira is made up of two articulated arms, each with a small clamp at the end, and surgeons have already used it for a colectomy.

Launch scheduled for 2024
However, the robot will not operate on astronauts. You will have to cut rubber bands and move rings with movements reproducing those used in surgery. The purpose of this project is to be able to test the device without the gravity earthly. ” We hope that the robot behaves differently in spacesaid Shane Farritor, co-founder of Virtual Incision. Any force or game in the joints will lead to inaccuracy in weightlessness “.
The researchers will need to make sure the robot is enough crystals and amorphous solids

They will also have to program the robot to perform the tests autonomously in order to limit the use of the ISS bandwidth as well as the time the astronauts will have to go over. Normally they will only need to turn it on and then turn it off two hours later.
Nasa predicts to send the robot to the ISS in 2024. This is a long-term project, because Shane Farritor is attending to what could be done by autonomous operations ahead of 50 years. 100 years.
Rheem, a robocop in Dubai This is Rheem, a rolling humanoid developed by Pal Robotics. Rheem, 1.70 meters tall for 100 kilos of electronic, mechanical and plastic parts, was the first robot hired by the police! C’était à Dubaï en mai 2017. Alors, certes il n’a pas tout à fait le profile de Robocop et il a plutôt vocation de faire de la police de proximité en aidant et informant, dans un premier temps, les touristes dans les malls. © Pal Robotics
Romeo, a robot that listens and helps the elderly This is Romeo, another member of Pepper’s family. From the height of its 1.40 meters, the humanoid robot is developed with a view to helping the elderly or those with loss of autonomy. © Softbank Robotics
Motobot, soon to be a motorcycle champion Presented in 2015, Motobot returns in 2017 in a more optimized version, without support wheels for turns and capable of reaching 228 km/h. The humanoid robot of Yamaha n’a pas (encore) réussi à battre le champion du monde de Grand prix, Valentino Rossi contre lequel il s’est mesuré (1’57,504 contre 1’25,740) more ce n’est qu’une question of time. ©Yamaha
Pepper, a humanoid who sells well At 1.20 meters tall, Pepper is a very popular robot. Designed in 2012, it is now mass-produced and sold all over the world. The humanoid is very available and well educated, always willing, as far as possible, to answer his questions. In years to come, Pepper will have siblings, no doubt equally adorable, who can do a bit of housework and walk on her legs. © Softbank Robotics
Valkyrie, future space explorer The R5 or Valkyrie robot was designed by engineers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. He is 1.88 meters tall and weighs about 140 kilograms. Initially developed to respond to disasters, R5 could become the first humanoid robot to explore the Solar System and beyond. © Nasa, Bill Stafford, James Blair, Regan Geeseman
murata boy and girl Thanks to gyroscopic sensors, Murata Boy and Girl can perform amazing balance tricks. While Murata Boy rides a bike, Murata Girl can ride on curved paths (even on a 2 centimeter wide beam). When they come across a person, their ultrasonic sensors alert them. Then they go to sleep automatically. © Murata
qrio “Quest for cuRIOsity”, Quest for cuRIOsity in French, this robot is a prototype developed between 2003 and January 2006 by Sony. This small robot, 58 centimeters tall, is capable of facial and voice recognition. He can hold a conversation as long as you speak English or Japanese. He can sing too! Locate objects in space using stereoscopic vision of it. Climb stairs, walk on difficult floors (inclined or messy) © Sony
asimo Asimo is a humanoid robot developed by Honda. Its name means “Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility”. We pronounce “ashimo” (reminiscent of Asimov) which is Japanese for “legs too”. This robot is not intended for marketing since it is a search robot but large companies like IBM have monopolized it to make it a host. Asimo may, in the future, help elderly people or perform tasks that are dangerous to humans. © Wikipedia, GNU Free Documentation License
Albert There was A direct competitor of Asimo or Qrio, Hub is less advanced than the latter two but has the great advantage of having cost only one million dollars of investment compared to 300 for Asimo’s development. Albert Hub is an upgraded version of Hub (with the Albert Einstein mask). Thirty-one servo motors allow you to express different emotions. © Wikipedia, GNU Free Documentation License
wakamaru This little yellow humanoid robot is 1 meter tall and 30 centimeters wide. The robot recognizes the face and voice of its owner. Equipped with a mobile phone, he can call in an emergency (if his master has an accident, for example). He obeys his master’s daily schedule. © Wikipedia, GNU Free Documentation License
nao Nao is 100% French. Its use is not yet defined. Could be used in the future as a companion robot, this playmate looks oddly like Aibo but more human. And for good reason, it replaced it in 2007, as the standard RoboCup platform. © DR
Robovie-R Robovie (version 3) is a small humanoid robot created to help people with disabilities or the elderly. In fact, it is a commercialized model, but be careful with your wallet. Right now, it costs $41 million. © Vstone
