Their underactuated robotic arms are really impressive too.]]>Apr 19th 2007 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/Apr 19th 2007 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/Apr 19th 2007 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/You think the neuroArm won't be run by a computer? lol]]>Apr 19th 2007 8:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/
As to be expected, you missed the point.

The point: a "robotic surgeon" means no human is around...you're at the mercy of the machine. Hence, a BSOD would be bad. In contrast, a mechanically augmented HUMAN surgeon would be able to step in and make decisions or take action if something went wrong with the mechanical part.

Pay attention, please.

But anyway, no, I didn't miss the point, and yes, I am paying attention. I was just lightheartedly pointing out that the robotic arm, while controlled by a human, is still going to have a computer powering it. Don't get your undies in a bundle, kiddo.]]>Apr 19th 2007 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/Apr 19th 2007 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/Apr 19th 2007 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/Apr 19th 2007 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/Apr 19th 2007 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/19/neuroarm-gives-surgeons-extra-dexterity-sense-of-touch/Apr 19th 2007 7:09PM
