December 17, 2011 da Vinci Surgical Robots to Fix Satellites
The da Vinci robot which is currently used for surgeries is now being modified for use in space. The collaboration is between JHU, NASA, and WVU. They currently have managed to interface the da Vinci surgical robot’s console with an industrial robot 30 miles away, receiving 3D video and haptic feedback, while controlling its movements from afar. Current problems are with input lag, which is being improved on.
