McSleepy and DaVinci are robots

McSleepy and DaVinci are robots that done a surgery in removing a man prostate. This surgery is done in McGill University Health Center, Canada. What makes it big news is that this surgery is the first ever surgery done by robots. The robots have a different specialty. McSleepy is a special robot that focused on anesthesia. While DaVinci, is a special robot that do the surgery. The process of the surgery is done in a strict supervision. The robot surgery shows that robot surgery is more thorough and precise than human. DaVinci also worked in giving 3D image to the doctor team in supervising the surgery.
The robots worked with its specialty. McSleepy roles in this surgery is making sure that the patients in a relax position during the surgery. Relax means the muscles of the patients should be relax during the surgery. While the other robot, is making sure that the patients in a stable position during the surgery, in a best configuration during the surgery.

Flying Bots

Flying Bots: Global Hawk and Pointer
The military uses several different flying robots, mainly for reconnaissance . Instead of UGVs, these are known as UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), and they are sometimes referred to as drones . UAVs look like model aircraft, and they range in size from small planes that can be held by a person and launched with a good throw, like the FQM-151 Pointer, to full-size airplanes that operate by remote control, like the RQ-4A Global Hawk.

Flying Bots: Predator
Reconnaissance plays a key role in military planning -- drones help military commanders keep track of their own troops and also spot enemy troops that might be waiting to ambush U.S. soldiers.

MQ-1 Predator UAV Flying robots like the Predator provide constant real-time data on troop movements, enemy locations and weather. In at least one case, a flying robot did a lot more than just spot the enemy: Predators can be fitted with Hellfire missiles, and when one of these Air Force drones spotted an anti-aircraft gun in southern Iraq in March 2003, it used one of the Hellfires to take it out. Insect Robots/Cyborgs The Pentagon is trying to develop "insect cyborgs" able to sniff out explosives, or "bug" conversations by lurking unseen in enemy hideouts with micro-transmitters strapped to their bodies. The U.S. Department of Defense is considering fielding an army of remote-controlled insect spybots as scouts. DARPA, says it is seeking "innovative proposals to develop technology to create insect cyborgs," by implanting tiny devices into insect bodies while the animals are in their larva or pupal stage. The devices DARPA wants to implant are micro-electro-mechanical systems, or MEMS. MEMS technology uses tiny silicon wafers like those used as the basis for computer microchips. But instead of merely laying circuits on them, MEMS technology can actually cut and shape the silicon, turning the chip into a microscopic mechanical device. This transforms the insects into "predictable devices that can be used for various micro-UAV missions requiring unobtrusive entry into areas inaccessible or hostile to humans." Cornell University has implanted a silicon chips inside flying insects to control their movement. The results were published June 22 by AZoNano . These “insect cyborg sentinels” ranging from cicadas to dragonflies are a new pass in cyborg technology. The project intends to control the insects' movement by motion trajectories obtained from GPS coordinates or from using an ultrasonic based remote control. Gaining control of an insect's movement is necessary because it enables scientists to position the insect in an area where a toxic substance is suspected to be present Insect Cyborg Sentinels combine living system technology with nanosystem technology, taking the best that a living system has with the best that engineers can do in building nanosystem technologies. Insects can fly up to two weeks without stopping, possessing an aerodynamic ability well developed over millions of years of evolution. The future shows DARPA arming these cyborgs with SWARM technology to be used as an offensive asset as well. The project is funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) which has a full Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (HI-MEMS) Program. ($2 million HI-MEMS program). Many of today's military robots are still somewhat limited in their autonomy and their range. They are essentially tethered to human controllers. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Black Ops government think tank researches develops future technologies for the new military, recently held a widely publicized robot race to see how far along robot AI has come. Modern AI is still somewhat limited but advancements are accelerating exponentially at an alarming rate. From massive troop transports to micro-nano spybots it is expected that by 2025 the battlefield will be a hybrid blend of soldier and cyborg robot. In our Omega Commission report we detail our findings on the direction this is taking humankind.

Robot Snake

We're betting some of our readers will spend the long weekend communing with nature, where they'll hopefully encounter sunshine, blue skies, and the fresh smell of pine trees--and robotic snakes climbing up trees.

Actually, the last sight is fairly unlikely, unless they're hanging out near Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University. The reptile-inspired Snakebot out of the school's Biorobotics Lab can make its way up a tree impressively, as the new CMU video below demonstrates.
We've previously watched the Snakebot wrapping itself around poles and climbing vertically inside pipes. For its latest trick, a red, white (more silver, really), and blue Snakebot named "Uncle Sam" slithers out of the lab with its biologically inspired gait, wiggles up a tree, and looks around with its camera-enabled head in a strangely lifelike way. It does not, however, sing the "Star-Spangled Banner."
CMU Snakebots such as Uncle Sam have already been used in disaster training exercises around the world and one day could be employed in search and rescue operations to thread through tight spaces that humans and conventional wheeled and legged robots may not be able to reach. The modular robots are built from repeated segments of sensors and actuators, meaning their length can be easily adjusted and they could possibly self-assemble in the field.
