Robotics in Dentistry: The Next Generation Technology

by

Robots are now utilized in every field of research thanks to technological breakthroughs; they have even found their way into dentistry due to the capacity for precision work without being fatigued. Hamilton dentist Dr. Moninder Tuli, chatted with us and provided us with information about the usage of robotics in dentistry.

The use of robots in dentistry is quite astounding. It can be debated that one of the most astonishing creations of modern civilization is the robot, a tool that can imitate living things. Robots shorten the time it takes to perform a task, increase production, and decrease human error.

Robotics is a revolutionary technology that will alter dental medicine’s diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Robots can do repetitive tasks for an endless amount of time while improving the overall level and scope of medical care.

The most recent medical robots can conduct clinical intervention or remote patient monitoring independently since robotic systems have evolved dramatically over the previous ten years. [Read more…] about Robotics in Dentistry: The Next Generation Technology

Fugro opens space robotics and AI facility in Australia

by

Fugro has officially opened the Australian Space Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Control Complex, better known as SpAARC.

Located in Perth’s central business district, this new “world-class facility” is a joint initiative by the Australian Space Agency, the Western Australia Government, and Fugro.

SpAARC is Fugro’s largest remote operations centre to date and will manage robotics and other harsh-environment remote operations in Australia, around the world and in space. [Read more…] about Fugro opens space robotics and AI facility in Australia

Ground-breaking robotics partnership aims to shape future of safe handling of hazardous materials

by

A collaboration between two robotics companies is showing the potential of the technology to shape how hazardous materials are handled safely in the future.

As a television advert by UK telecommunications company EE recently demonstrated, the world of teleoperated robotics is constantly advancing. But beyond attention grabbing stunts, a key aim is to apply this technology to manufacturing and industry contexts to take people out of hazardous or dangerous work situations.

Now, thanks to a recent virtual reality (VR) experiment between Extend Robotics and Shadow Robot, achieving that aim is one step closer. [Read more…] about Ground-breaking robotics partnership aims to shape future of safe handling of hazardous materials

Skyline Robotics uses Kuka industrial robot to clean skyscraper windows

by

Skyline Robotics says it has succeeded in automating window washing for the world’s skyscrapers – a task that has been done manually for over 100 years.

To automate the window-cleaning task, Skyline developed “Ozmo”, a system that combines an industrial robot, computerized vision system, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies.

What formerly required three to four months of manual labor, Ozmo does automatically in about half the time. But most importantly, the system ensures safety by removing human workers from the window washing platform or “basket”.
