While a tireless, vigorous and cold-hearted programmed robotic badminton partner for training sounds like a huge boon to China’s national team to reclaim glory in Rio Olympics, it’s a technology that thrives on accuracy.

Through an HD camera and a binocular vision system, the badminton robot can “see” the shuttlecock and predict its movements. Data, sent via Bluetooth to and processed in a mobile platform, directs it swiftly to the target location.

QINGDAO, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese medical team has performed a remote radical cystectomy on a patient 3,000 kilometers away with the help of a domestically-developed surgical robot using 5G.

Professor Niu Haitao with the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University in east China's Shandong Province successfully completed the laparoscopic radical cystectomy by operating China's newest-generation surgical robot Micro Hand's master console to control its arms in the operating room in the Xixiu District People's Hospital in Anshun in Guizhou Province of southwest China.

The robot accurately repeated the doctor's movements, removing the lesions in the targeted area. At the same time, the application of holographic projection technology enabled Professor Niu to interact with the patient and medical staff with almost no time lag.

The patient was diagnosed with bladder cancer three months ago and was in dire need of surgery after the condition suddenly exacerbated.

The entire operation was carried out smoothly with no apparent bleeding or other complications.

Long-distance surgery with the surgical robot using 5G network can help patients save time and expenses on travel and accommodation, and improve health care in China's remote areas.

Magnetic spray transforms inanimate objects into mini-robots

Scientists have engineered a spray that turns inanimate materials into mobile, insect-scale machines. The spray contains particles of iron, polyvinyl alcohol and gluten, which combine with water to form sticky, magnetic skins, or “M-skins.” Thanks to the spray’s magnetic properties, the scientists managed to bring ordinary objects to life, like origami paper and cotton thread, according to a paper published last week in Science Robotics.

The researchers captured footage of the “millirobots” rolling, swimming, and walking—literally strutting their stuff. But they also performed more purposeful tasks: simulated biomedical procedures. Robotic catheters navigated narrow blood vessels and egg-shaped capsules delivered drugs into living rabbit stomachs. Read the research: https://scim.ag/36POvUh
