Duke Inches Toward Autonomous Robo-surgeons
For their experiments, the engineers started with a rudimentary tabletop robot whose eyes used a novel 3-D ultrasound technology developed in the Duke laboratories. An artificial intelligence program served as the robots brain by taking real-time 3-D information, processing it, and giving the robot specific commands to perform. In a number of tasks, the computer was able to direct the robots actions, said Stephen Smith, director of the Duke University Ultrasound Transducer Group and senior member of the research team.
