Special: Robotics – Technical Assistants

The times when robots solely performed assembly line work in the automotive and electrical industry are a thing of the past. In the past few years, robotics has undergone a rapid evolution.

It finds its way not just into disaster control, elderly care, aerospace and shipping, but particularly into the new, exciting research field of medical technology. However, the use of robots on or inside a human being has to meet the highest safety standards. In the future, further scientific considerations will be necessary in this area.

In the past few months the mood in many scientific research units has almost been euphoric: the use of robotics for human beings and in the human body is no longer just mere fiction, but technically feasible at this point. In the future, “robotic hearts “can support cardiac patients and exoskeletons can help paraplegics to walk again. However, those robotic applications for working on human beings destined to become more important, must meet the highest safety standards.

The future has arrived in the operating room. Instead of operating directly on the patient, the surgeon sits at a kind of control console and moves remote-controlled robotic arms on it that virtually perform the surgery on the patient. If necessary, the robotic arms can be adapted – a multitude of surgical interventions are thus made possible.
