Endoscope operation robot with disposable arm developed

OSAKA, Japan - Atsushi Nishikawa, an associate professor at Osaka University, holding a robotic device with disposable arms for use in endoscope operations. Developed by a research team led by Nishikawa, the disposable arms will cost less than 30,000 yen each, while the main parts will be priced at about 3 million yen each, compared with existing robots that cost more than 10 million yen each, Nishikawa says.

    World's 1st edible robot

    Photo taken on February 28, 2024, in Chofu, western Tokyo, shows the world's first edible robot developed by Yoshihiro Nakata, associate professor at the University of Electro-Communication, and his research team. Air pressure is used to make the stick-shaped, gelatin-based gummy jiggle on the 3D-printed mug. The robot was developed to study the effects of eating food that looks like it is alive on human psychology.

                  (230727) -- PINGTANG, July 27, 2023 (Xinhua) -- A staff member adjusts a maintenance robot platform system designed for China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) in southwest China's Guizhou Province, on July 25, 2023. A robotic system project for operation and maintenance of the FAST passed on-site appraisal Wednesday. It was one of the key projects designated by state authorities in research and development of smart robots. FAST, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, has identified over 800 new pulsars since its launch in 2016, its operator said Tuesday. Dubbed the "China Sky Eye," the telescope is located in a naturally deep and round karst depression in the southwestern province of Guizhou. It has a reception area equal to 30 standard football fields. (Xinhua/Ou Dongqu)
