Robot Heart Surgeon

May 21st, 2006 by NerdDad

OK, there are new, cool things happening all the time.  Scientists slow light down until it goes backwards, for example.  But this is definitely futuristic.  A robot in Italy (monitored by a PC in Boston) performed surgery on a heart patient.  Yes, the machine repaired the human.  This is a turning point in robo-human relations.

So the question is which robot would you want to operate on you?  CP3O might have a good bedside manner, but R2D2 is more discrete.  Robbie the Robot seems like he’d panic, where the Terminator is calm under pressure.
