In Space, No One Can Hear You Say 'Oops'

Is zero-gravity telesurgery the next big thing? Researchers plan on testing it out using the M7 robot on an upcoming NASA mission to look at the possibility of remote-controlled robotic surgery. "Beyond space, telerobotic capabilities could be useful for remote battlefield surgery, and care during patient evacuation and transport," says SRI international, which developed the […]
