Students from Lodz University of Technology have developed an innovative system enabling safe interaction with spiders. The innovation uses a lightweight robotic arm controlled by hand movements to be used in the therapy of the fear of spiders - arachnophobia.

The creation of the humanoid, chatbot and in fact the AI algorithm in the cyborg body with the non-accidental name of Sophia (wisdom, but also the feminine face of God), once again has brought humanity up against the question of who should be granted civil rights.

California, the beginning of the 1970s. Through rooms of the Stanford Research Institute slowly glides Shakey - the first ever mobile robot programmed with artificial intelligence algorithms that allow it to plan its actions in order to achieve its goals.

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.

Robot-assisted cardiac surgery is becoming commonplace. Surgical procedures are performed not by robots, as you may have expected, but by doctors - surgeons with a hand-held input device (what would be a joystick in computer games).
