Robotic Camera Mimics Eye Movement

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ATLANTA, July 9, 2012 — Piezoelectric materials that allow a robot’s camera eye to replicate the muscle motion of a human eye could help make safer, more effective robotic tools for MRI-guided surgery and robotic rehabilitation. The biologically inspired technology, developed by Joshua Schultz and Jun Ueda of the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, could lay the groundwork for investigating research questions in systems that possess a large number of active units operating together. “For a robot to be truly bioinspired, it should possess...Read full article
