It is no secret that ChatGPT can suggest code snippets for a variety of applications. Sophisticated robotics system, unlike text only applications, require a deep understand of real world physics and environmental context. This video from Microsoft Autonomous System & Robotics Research shows how ChatGPT can be utilized to solve problems in this area.
This is the Carina RAS: Ronovo’s robotic assisted surgery platform with a modular design that can be used for laparoscopic procedure. It has single instrument robotic arms positioned around the operating bed. The modules can move freely to join others as needed depending on the task.
Carina lets surgeons choose the ideal types, quantities and configurations of surgical instruments. This robot has a 3DHD laparoscope and vision system. You can find out more about it here.
Meet the LEMUR 2: a law enforcement drone that can fly into dangerous areas for surveillance and deescalation. BRINC’s law enforcement drone comes with a glass breaker module and multipurpose dropper with 1lbs capacity. It has 7 advanced sensors, livestreaming capability, and 2-way communication. It is ready for mesh networking, so drones extend each other’s range.
