Computer Motion Inc. - The Leader in Medical Robotics
This is one of 2 robotic systems out there that I know of. If I remember right the other one is called Da Vinci...?
Honestly, this stuff will really revolutionze surgery...and already has. Some time ago I watched an operation on Discover Health that was a heart valve replacement - and they performed the surgery through 3 or 4, one inch incisions! Normally this surgery would require a 12" cut and cutting open of the breastbone....revolutionary.
Anyway, I think I should check this company out and see if they need any whiz-bang biomedical engineers to fix this stuff or to build their training/service program. With my background, I'd fit right in....
