Robots are coming to the rescue! They are helping in a number of industries, including in the healthcare market where invasive surgery can be made easier with robotics and AI (artificial intelligence). Let’s take a look. As one example, the Paoli-Calmettes Institute is using the Epione Quantum Surgical robotic platform, which can destroy cancerous tumors. This is only the fourth center in the world to offer this minimally invasive treatment. Here’s how it works: Robots and AI enable the interventional radiologists to perform percutaneous tumor ablations. The technology is designed to plan, target, execute, and confirm the ablation of abdominal…
