Within the EU FP7 Project STIFF-FLOP the Shadow Robot Company developed the “Shadow Robot Nervous System” (SRNS) which is a universal hardware integration platform for connecting input and output components to a PC running the research standard Robot Operating System (ROS). The connection is made via EtherCAT which allows for fast, high bandwidth, real time…
Octopuses and robots will lead to new ways for surgeons to safely and effectively intervene in cancers, prostate and heart conditions. The Centre for Robotics Research in the Department of Informatics at King’s College London leads a consortium of European scientists and medical doctors aiming to create soft, flexible robotic tools to improve “keyhole” or…
