Fantastic development (I’m in the dental field) As a side note; a Chinese team already performed an implant surgery with a “fully automatic” robotic system in 2017.
I had an implant done recently and I got the impression that the device used to install the implant although being held by the dentist was actually monitoring its position & orientation very carefully.
I wonder if this team has considered making the electrodes out of silver? Robert O. Becker had great success accelerating the healing of bone tissue using similar methods. Seems like this would avoid any toxicity issues.
What if the more difficult to explain parts of the UAP phenomenon is our experience of the remnant of that previous civilization? It never went extinct, it just moved into space and the bottom of the oceans. We're ants, unaware of the civilization that surrounds us because it is to alien/advanced for us to comprehend.
As a dental professional working with oral/maxillofacial surgery teams, I can’t wait for fMRI quality imaging in a portable affordable device. First to market with such systems will make a fortune.
Having just had a wisdom tooth extracted, something that can help them locate nerves for targeted local anesthesia would be nice. In both this and a crown procedure I had done ten years ago the needle hit a nerve bundle and it felt like my face was getting tazed lol.
I guess fMRI isn’t really a good analog. What is needed is an MRI quality video sequence showing movement. Dynamic planning would allow occlusal schemes to be designed more accurately, therefore avoiding many common issues with full arch rehab, for example.
Agree re simplicity. Ehang has been using what is essentially a consumer drone design for some time, and has demonstrated success with many flight tests. Although they aren’t using the most efficient design, I wouldn’t be surprised if they dominate the short range air taxi field.
The Ehang AAV does fly, but it seems like a commercial dead end. They aren't going to get type certification to carry paying passengers under the aviation regulations that apply in most countries. The reserve endurance is too low, and the technology for reliable autonomous operations is way too immature.
