A squishy robotic "eye" can focus automatically in response to light, without any external power. The ultrapowerful robotic lens is sensitive enough to distinguish hairs on an ant's leg or the lobes ...

When new technology is developed, even one that seems revolutionary or inevitable, skepticism is normal. John A. Hovanesian, MD, FACS, remembers the initial rollout of self-driving cars and some of ...

I built a custom Arduino controller for a robotic eye. A homemade controller brings this animatronic project one step closer ...

ForSight Robotics, a company developing a robot to assist with ophthalmic surgery, announced it secured $125 million in a Series B funding round led by Eclipse, bringing the company's total raise to ...

The system contains a sensor, chip and tiny AI model inspired by biological eyes and brains and uses a tenth of the energy of ...

A bioinspired robotic eye can automatically adjust its pupil size in response to changing light levels, enabling it to recognize objects even in unevenly lit or overexposed environments. Scientists ...

Malibu, California-based Horizon Surgical Systems announced earlier this month that its Polaris investigational microsurgical robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) platform was used to perform ...

BARCELONA, Spain — Ophthalmology has lagged far behind other specialties in adopting automated technology for the operating room, but a team of researchers in California has reported early success ...

Inspired by the remarkable vision of cats, researchers have created a new artificial vision system that allows robots to detect and track objects even in challenging environments, breaking new ground ...
