ya...just wait untill the little robots assemble inside of you then the clamps break when its time to leave.....imagin having to shit out a 6 inch thick robot
People like me? Just because I don't want to let a robot that could POTENTIALLY do other things due to a glitch or virus, pick me up? If it was just a robotic bed that could move around, fine.. But that robot has far too flexible arms.
I haven't seen an OS with no problems yet, you assume the robot will have a flawless OS?
Of course there are some test to run. But we shouldn't be afraid of technology, we should embrace it.
Take for instance the factory line robot (like in the production of cars), after a few tweaks, a single robot can work flawlessly for years. You keep the system simple, maintain it constantly and it won't crash. Finally an other key element of modern robots is the fail safe devices like redundancy and emergency shut off. The future is awesome, enjoy the ride.
This is absolutely true, but on the other hand, it is even more dangerous to reject all new technology in times like these with an exponentially growing population and energy needs.
It is indeed too early to really put so much trust in robots for medical purposes like these. But soon the time will come, when artificial intelligence will be greater than our own, and by then it'll be far riskier to do it ourselves without robotic aid. Remember, the future belongs to those who prepare for it now.
It would assemble itself from multiple swallowed segments. I think this prototype is much larger than the one intended for use inside people. Pretty much anything you can make large scale you can produce in microscale using photolithography to produce the parts. Google MEMS or Micro Electro Mechanical Systems
Surgery part amazing but human carrying Robot .. will struggle .. patient needs touch of another human, which lessen the pain it self .. Robot touch, i don't know about that !!
What if the Robot drops the Patient? Who is liable- the Robot, or the Programmer, or the Nursing Staff? OR?
This all is creating GREAT Medical Ethical and Legal problems. I like the prior comment from seedstyler below: ORWELL... Yes..I agree! Also the old song "In the Year 2525" from Zagar and Evans is appropriate here. There is a YouTube with that song......check it out.....
There is already a robot like that being used in Japan, but for now it need the nurse's assistance to avoid accidents until they improve it to work fully automated
obviously they wouldnt throw magnets inside you if they havent had everything figured out right. there are still many dangers in hospitals without all the new equipment.
anything involving medical or surgery will have some kind of danger or draw back, but im no medical student.
I don't particularly agree with the second suggestion. How would it know where to pick a patient up and how? What if they have a very sensitive internal injury which needs to be left alone and the robot accidently malfunctions and picks him/her up?
Other than that, I like the idea of the first one. It's a bit freaky considering you have to somehow get it inside yourself (swallowing that thing would be.. ugh) and the magnets, like the guy below me said, could be dangerous.
Magnetically linked parts!!! This is bad. Surgeons have described magnets snapping together inside the intestines as like internal gunshot injuries. This sounds like a very bad idea.
Although I do like the concept of a self assembling robotic surgeon
that is stupid if the patient swallows magnets they will most likely pinch an internal organ and create dead skin cells it would do more harm than good!
not as interesting as nanobots but still cool. the nurse robot is a great idea. it is ridiculous that health care workers have to risk injury just to move around their patients (even obese ones) around when robots could easily get the job done.
omg.... did she say "swallow" those self assembling robot? and 15 of them? i hope they can make it small first... i dont know if you can even shove those up the other end without serious injuries, let alone 15 of them...
it means a doctor could possibly do surgery on some one in another country, so experts wont have to wreck the environment getting on lots of plans, sounds like a good idea to me
Aside from remote surgery, where the robot can be placed anywhere in the world, and the doctor can work from a centralize location? The real benefit comes from working at scale, where the doctor can operates on a virtual patient twice as large, and his movements would be twice as detailed.
I totally want a robot to assemble it'self inside my body. How does it get out? Makes me think of the intestinal pinching that can occur when swallowing multiple magnets.
why not have a mechanism that releases the magnets after the job is complete?
Or since voltage and current is magnetism, you could have magnets powered by tiny batteries that only last a few hours. Once the batteries are depleted, the magnet is no longer magnetized therefore releasing its structure causing it to return to a bunch of tiny pieces once again.
This is exactly what I want to do! Surgical Robotics!
I already decided to go into robotics with computer/elec engineering, but may do pre med or biomed engineering. I've become interested in this recently.
be open to change :) if robots are better than human, then how would it be bad for life and complexity that they take control. Evolution is good :) Humans won't be there for ever. They will branch to something else if things go well. This something else could be a designed machine, why not? Humans are machine anyways that once evolved from a less complex machine. Im ready for the next machine. Humans suck a lot anyways lots of the time don't you think? I'd jump on anything better ;)
Robotic nurses! YEAH! Way to go! Let's put even MORE people out of the job and fatten the Corporatocracy's wallet! Way to go scientists! So, answer me this, poindexters: What will all these people that continue to be obsoleted out of their jobs do for a living then? Sell apples on street corners again like they did during the Great Depression? That's what all this automation and downsizing is doing to Society. People are being phased out with robots, automated machines and automated factories.
Well this way isn't so invasive as the old way...so better healing time, less chance of infection, less cutting required etc etc....this way would be slower yes...but it would be the safer way to do it..
but how would it make a difference if the surgeon messes up on the robotics instead of messing up by hand? its still the surgeon who's doing everything.
When a surgeon opens you up they need a lot of room to be able to perform some surgeries. Like spreading the rib cage to be able to get to the lungs or heart. With these small instruments delicate surgeries can be conducted without all that hassle. Even better they can be performed from the inside! No more scars.
0:40 is called the "Da Vinci", it is every day life in the theatre. That has absolutely nothing to do with SciFi, it's as much SciFi as cellular phones.
How can somebody swallow such a big pill? anyways this is really awesome cuz some surgeons have shaky hands and the robots can control the surgery more precisely and accurately..
It has to be human-looking to avoid freaking people out - we tend to categorize things based on appearance, and if a crab with tentacles came to get you, you might react adversely. Personally, as the bipedal gate is a little rough, I'll take the crab with tentacles, but that's not everyone's cup of tea.
Fair enough, but what about a compromise? An automatic bed for moving patients would probably not be as scary as a tentacle crab, and probably a bit more comfortable to be carried on than by two robot-arms.
Let s take into consideration one heart surgeon in newyork. he could assist any other surgery in the US.
Another scenario is that all the surgeon are busy at a certain hospital, then a free surgeon from elsewhere could connect and help decrease the workload on that hospital
A specific surgery can be done in a place where the doctor cannot go. The doctor can also just sit there and do way more surgeries in a day in multiple hospitals.
I agree... what is the point in having a robot controlled by a human do surgery....
but i dont agree about the far less things can go wrong. machines are much more accurate than we are and have many more sensoring abilities.
What you are refering to is that we dont have complicated enough machines on that level for that to happen yet, but in the future it isnt so abstract that a pill is designed to take care of the problem-pre-programmed-automatic. the idea isnt pointless. its a step.
yes, but human intervention in the future, other than to monitor and make sure the robot is doing correctly, would not be needed. You can create a robot to do that job without the need for a human to do anything. it would be automated. That is the way to help the most people. The minute you put a person doing a job, it has to be monetarily concerned, etc. If more things were automated then perhaps the poor people in africa could get basic help for example. the monetary system we live in=corrupt
Lol hater i saw your comments on several newscientist videos and they are rather uneducated thoughts. Do some critical thinking for like 5 mins before commenting on any youtube video. Seriously, it should amaze you if you did it right. If not, you're a dumbass.
this is not a waste of money you idiots, of course that robotic nurse isn't good enough to be put in hospitals now but we have to start from somewhere.
Screw that. Cut me open and go in old fashioned. What if that plastic crap gets lodged in my guts or something? Send in more remote robots to dislodge them? Fuck that. Put me under and cut me open, doc. Do it yourself, with your own hands, not some remote 15 part piece of robot shit. Besides, it'll leave a cool scar.
I don't know who would want to " swallow about 15 robotic parts" but I would do it only if I were in the last stage of an illness and this would be the last solution... I'm not that keen to robots literally crawling inside me
after watching many of these videos ive realized that its designed for 3rd graders, and is just as in the title, nothing more than a lot of science fiction mumbo jumbo.
This is absolutely amazing! So many break throughs in one vid, excellent job New Scientist!
I cannot wait to see the future of the swollowed robots that could someday become small enough to actually be absorbed into pours and collect at an infection or wound or even clogged arteries! This is nanotechnology working backwards to make the function before the design. Very innovative!
i dont like the sound of having to swallow those things and tehy look a bit big to do much on the inside, if smaller ounds were made i'd be up for it though.

Screw that. Cut me open and go in old fashioned. What if that plastic crap gets lodged in my guts or something? Send in more remote robots to dislodge them? Fuck that. Put me under and cut me open, doc. Do it yourself, with your own hands, not some remote 15 part piece of robot shit. Besides, it'll leave a cool scar.

I don't know who would want to " swallow about 15 robotic parts" but I would do it only if I were in the last stage of an illness and this would be the last solution... I'm not that keen to robots literally crawling inside me

You're right. They're not getting me to swallow those big pills. I would choke.

I'll bet ya a 100 bucks on that those parts are only a prototype, and that they will decrease the size a lot.

after watching many of these videos ive realized that its designed for 3rd graders, and is just as in the title, nothing more than a lot of science fiction mumbo jumbo.

You are absolutely right. I only watch them to keep up on new scientific news

this isnt even news its like 5-10 year old technology, read scientific journals if you want up to date news.

This is absolutely amazing! So many break throughs in one vid, excellent job New Scientist!
I cannot wait to see the future of the swollowed robots that could someday become small enough to actually be absorbed into pours and collect at an infection or wound or even clogged arteries! This is nanotechnology working backwards to make the function before the design. Very innovative!

Wouldn't like to shit out that robot after its fully assembled.

It will be a lot less embarrassing to have a robot clean up after your accidents than a person when you get too old to take care of yourself.

i dont like the sound of having to swallow those things and tehy look a bit big to do much on the inside, if smaller ounds were made i'd be up for it though.
