Chapter 6 Lesson 1: A Glimpse of Robotics Technology I. Introduction • Robots are commonly named as a machine that imitates a human. • Made by human for human benefit. • One factor is for human safety. -an example is the Mars Rover Sojoumer‚ it goes to a place where it is too dangerous for humans. • Has been used to handle nuclear and radioactive chemicals for many diff. uses including nuclear weapons‚ and processing of certain drugs. • Also perform tedious and unpleasant task such

Robotic Surgery Technology‚ Society‚ and Culture HUMN432 Introduction: Robotic Surgery Robotic surgery is the latest development that uses robots and computer aided apparatus to aid in normal surgical procedures. It is a new technology and mostly used in well-developed countries. With robotic surgery a single surgeon is able not only to perform multiple surgeries but also do his/her work from any part of the world (McConnell‚ Schneeberger & Michler‚ 2003). Robotic surgery is a type of procedure
