Surgical Robotics: TraumaPod |
Imagine an automated medical and surgical treatment system that does not require
on-site medical personnel on the front lines of battle, and is ready
to receive, assess, and stabilize wounded soldiers during the critical
hours following injury. The Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense
Sciences Office (DSO) has taken a significant step toward that
goal by awarding an SRI International-led, multi-organization team
a $12 million, two-year contract to develop such a revolutionary
system. |
