Science and research

Apart from technological progress in building materials, construction, and energy-efficient systems, new developments in architecture also mean sweeping advance in design practice. Virtual Reality technology (VR) is making an entrance into construction industry and it would really be difficult now to imagine a future of architectural design tools without thinking of Virtual Reality.
Scientists seek to develop solutions to make the work of medical doctors easier. For surgeons, it is particularly valuable if they can use robots. To their succor come researchers from Lodz University of Technology, where since 2000, in collaboration with the Foundation for the Development of Cardiac Surgery in Zabrze, a cardiac surgery robot Robin Heart has been under development.
