RoboDoc: how Indias robots are taking on Covid patient care – The Guardian

Posted: December 8, 2020 at 3:06 am

Standing just 5ft tall, Mitra navigates around the hospital wards, guided by facial recognition technology and with a chest-mounted tablet that allows patients and their loved ones to see each other.

Developed in recent years by the Bengaluru startup Invento Robotics, Mitra costs around $13,600 (10,000) and due to the reduced risk of infection to doctors has become hugely popular in Indian hospitals during the pandemic.

Since making headlines at its debut in 2017 at an international summit, where it greeted Ivanka Trump and interacted with Indias prime minister Narendra Modi, Mitra has increasingly been put to use in hospitals treating Covid-19 patients.

Mitra was originally meant for care homes, but was adapted during the pandemic to assist doctors and nurses by taking vital readings, and to help in consultations, says Balaji Viswanathan, chief executive of Invento Robotics, which now exports the robot to five countries including the US and Australia.

India still only has about three robots for every 10,000 workers, but the domestic industry is growing rapidly, fuelled in no small part by the pandemic.

Successful startups have boomed and according to the latest report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), India is now among the top 10 countries for annual installation of robots in industries. Industrial robot sales reached a new record of 4,771 in 2018, up 39% from the previous year.

According to the daily Business Standard, the robotics market in India is expected to grow by 20% between 2017 and 2025. From hospitality to hospitals, a range of sectors are adopting automation to reduce costs, time or to achieve precision and in some cases save lives.

One startup called Genrobotics, from the southern state of Kerala, collaborated with local authorities to adapt its spider-shaped robot Bandicoot to clean sewers and manholes, which until then had been cleaned manually notoriously dangerous and unpleasant work.

Though the machine is expensive, it can prevent human lives from being lost

We found manual scavenging is a global issue, and there was no efficient tech to clean manholes, says Rashid K, head of Genrobotics.

Now more than 11 Indian states are using the worlds first manhole cleaning robot.

Babu K Y is the manager of Hand to Hand India, an NGO involved in bringing Bandicoot to Tamil Nadu. Though the machine is expensive, he says, it can prevent human lives from being lost in this hazardous operation and is also very easy to operate, helping reach greater depths than in manual scavenging.

Since 2011 the Indian army has been using Daksh robots equipped with x-ray vision and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear hazard detection mechanisms. Delhis GreyOrange is now making robots for the growing warehousing and automation sector.

According to a report by the IFR in 2017, Indias automotive sector was the main customer for industrial robots, accounting for 62% of the total supplied. Maruti Suzuki India used robots in its Manesar and Gurgaon plants and Mahindra has a robotic welding line in its plant in Nashik. Tata Motors uses an industrial robot made in India to lift heavy loads.

Although many Indian hospitals adopted robots during the pandemic because of a shortage of PPE, and because they can be used for disinfecting floors using ultra-violet radiation and strong disinfectants, they were also being used before the pandemic in healthcare, for surgeries requiring high levels of precision.

Dr Venkatesh Munikrishnan, a colorectal surgeon who works with Apollo Hospitals in Chennai, operates using Intuitive Surgicals Da Vinci XI a remote control robotics system.

This system helps me in performing difficult surgeries with 10 times more magnification, and 3D views. Firefly fluorescence technology used with the Da Vinci robot lights up the blood supply to the organ, and helps differentiate cancerous from healthy tissue, he says. Though these systems are very expensive and have to be imported, their superior advanced technologies are invaluable in complex surgeries.

Rajeev Karwal of Milagrow Human Tech has seen his company expand swiftly. We started off making robots for residences, from floor-cleaning to swimming-pool-cleaning robots, and later industrial robots for the hospitality industry.

With the advent of the pandemic, we focused on humanoids that could be used to disinfect hospital floors, provide temperature checks, do ward rounds and arrange phone calls with doctors, he says.

However, adoption of robots in India has been slow for many reasons, the main one being processes in Indian companies are not very standardised. Another is the high customs duties on importing the technology.

There are also widespread fears that robots will take away jobs in a country where unemployment is already high.

Doctors and staff are reluctant to use technology and monitor the robots, and there is also the problem of poor wifi

Even though humanoids were introduced in Indian hospitals during the pandemic, doctors and staff are reluctant to use technology and monitor the robots, and there is also the problem of poor wifi connectivity in many places, that may make people go back to their old ways of doing things, says Karwal. For new technology mental and physical barriers need to be crossed.

Scaling up remains a challenge, but the automation trend looks as though its here to stay.

As Karwal says: Once you adopt these technologies, theres no going back. Leveraged intelligently, they put you on the path to better solutions that make life easier for people.

T-Robotics.Co.Ltd (KOSDAQ:117730) Shareholders Have Enjoyed A 26% Share Price Gain – Simply Wall St

Posted: at 3:06 am

There's no doubt that investing in the stock market is a truly brilliant way to build wealth. But not every stock you buy will perform as well as the overall market. Over the last year the T-Robotics.Co.,Ltd. (KOSDAQ:117730) share price is up 26%, but that's less than the broader market return. We'll need to follow T-Robotics.Co.Ltd for a while to get a better sense of its share price trend, since it hasn't been listed for particularly long.

See our latest analysis for T-Robotics.Co.Ltd

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.

During the last year T-Robotics.Co.Ltd grew its earnings per share, moving from a loss to a profit.

When a company is just on the edge of profitability it can be well worth considering other metrics in order to more precisely gauge growth (and therefore understand share price movements).

We think that the revenue growth of 30% could have some investors interested. We do see some companies suppress earnings in order to accelerate revenue growth.

The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail).

We know that T-Robotics.Co.Ltd has improved its bottom line lately, but what does the future have in store? So it makes a lot of sense to check out what analysts think T-Robotics.Co.Ltd will earn in the future (free profit forecasts).

We're happy to report that T-Robotics.Co.Ltd are up 26% over the year. While it's always nice to make a profit on the stock market, we do note that the TSR was no better than the broader market return of about 37%. The last three months haven't been great for shareholder returns, since the share price has trailed the market by 15% in the last three months. But a weak quarter certainly doesn't diminish the longer-term achievements of the business. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 3 warning signs for T-Robotics.Co.Ltd (1 is a bit unpleasant) that you should be aware of.

But note: T-Robotics.Co.Ltd may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with past earnings growth (and further growth forecast).

Robots lend a hand during the pandemic – Valley News

Posted: at 3:06 am

LEBANON As the first surge of COVID-19 cases began in the early spring, Dr. Meredith MacMartin and her colleagues in palliative care at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center wondered how to ensure that patients could stay in close touch with their families and care providers while minimizing the risk of infection.

Then, MacMartin, medical director at the Jack Byrne Center for Palliative and Hospice Care, saw a link on her Twitter feed that seemed to present a solution robots carrying tablets such as iPads to patients rooms for them to use to speak with loved ones as well as their providers.

Having robots ferry the devices would reduce the need for clinicians to don the necessary protective equipment to enter a patients room, conserving the equipment as well as the clinicians time.

MacMartin reached out to an engineer friend, Rich Kaszeta, and asked, how hard would this be? His response was not that hard, she said.

Kaszeta put her in touch with James Cole-Henry, a mechanical engineer at Lebanon-based Fujifilm Dimatix who is also head coach for the Grasshoppers, the FIRST robotics team at the Hartford Area Career Technical Center. Cole-Henry then involved current students and alumni to help outline the problem and develop the model.

One of my students came up with the idea to use magnets, Cole-Henry said in a video call. I was a little embarrassed. At work Im like Mr. Magnet.

The robots first deployed in patient rooms in the Childrens Hospital at Dartmouth beginning in September, Cole-Henry said. The design they came up with after several iterations is triangular with wheels and uses magnets to connect to a black stand with a long arm holding an iPad. It is operated using a controller similar to that used for video games. MacMartin said that even though shes not a gamer, she found the controllers to be pretty user-friendly.

The engineers worked together remotely for the most part. Grasshopper Machine Werks, a machine shop that Cole-Henry co-owns in Enfield, served as home base for the project.

MacMartin, who said developing robots wasnt on her 2020 bingo card, found herself walking around DHMC with a tape measure in order to be able to tell Cole-Henry and his team how much space they had to work with.

Its been really fun to talk with people who are very smart about machines, she said.

Challenges for the design included ensuring that it would be easy to clean and that it could safely navigate around the hospital without hurting people, Cole-Henry said.

During the development, Cole-Henry said the project gave him and the students and alumni participants a way to help address the ongoing pandemic. Before MacMartin approached him with the project, he said he had been frustrated that the best way he could help was by staying home and away from others.

Being able to develop the robots for the hospital felt so much better than doing nothing, he said.

The robotics team alumni who, because of the pandemic, didnt have technical internships this summer were especially grateful for the opportunity to develop their skills, Cole-Henry said.

Due to relatively low numbers of patients with COVID-19 at DHMC, the robots havent been needed as much as MacMartin thought might be the case early on in the pandemic. They may see greater use as cases of COVID-19 increase. Dartmouth-Hitchcock will be using iPads and telehealth carts in the emergency department and at regional hospitals to augment care and for critical care consultation for patients with COVID-19, according to a news release.

Theres promise for the devices beyond COVID-19, MacMartin said. They could be useful in reducing the risk of infection for patients with compromised immune systems, such as those receiving bone marrow transplants, by reducing the number of people who enter their room, she said.

I do think theres some other really interesting ways we might be able to use these to benefit patients, protect them and protect staff, she said.

Video technology has helped family members of patients in the intensive care unit to be able to see their loved one and the care providers while they arent able to visit in person, she said.

Like Cole-Henry, MacMartin said that teamwork it took to create the robots was a bright spot during what has largely been a period of isolation.

Its been really nice to feel the sense of collaboration and support with our community about it, she said, noting that several local companies chipped in materials and time. Being able to pool together to use our collective skills and experience to accomplish this, that feels like a pretty big win.

The code for the robots is open source, so Cole-Henry said hes hopeful it can be used by other people.

Sorry range pickers, the robots have come for your job – Golf.com

Posted: at 3:06 am

By: Sean Zak December 4, 2020

The RP-1200 scoops up to 300 golf balls during a session.

Echo

The revolution of the range is coming, folks. For everyone who grew up logging hours behind the wheel of a range picker like proud PGA Tour pro Daniel Berger now is the time to lament. Robots will soon make that job obsolete!

Enter the BallPicker from Belrobotics, or the RP-1200 from Echo, or Herr Robot from Golf Robotics. All of them look basically the same and do one thing well: they pick the range.

They pick the range well enough that one club in Mississippi The Club at Ole Brook just made the humans-to-robots transition, and it made the local news. Ole Brook chose the Echo Robotics version of automated picker, which goes for about $19,000, and bought two of them.

All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy a linked product, GOLF.COM may earn a fee. Pricing may vary.

Could it be a fad? Itd be a pretty expensive fad to get involved with, if thats the case. The pickers run on a rechargeable battery and scoot around your range at just more than 2 mph. They can scoop up about 300 balls and return them to a washing station before heading back out again. Wires laid in the ground at ranges edge work like an electric dog fence, telling them when to turn back to the grassy area. And the controls for all of it sits in a pretty dashboard on the general managers cell phone.

Okay, maybe robot range pickers are better, after all.

They took some tweaking at first, but weve had fun with them, GM Jeff Henning told the Daily Leader.

As far as he knows, these are the only robotic range pickers in the state. For now, at least.

A senior editor for GOLF.com, Zak joined the staff GOLF staff three weeks after college graduation. He is the utility infielder of the brand, spanning digital, print and video. His main duty is as a host for various GOLF.com video properties and its award-winning podcasts. When the Masters comes around, be sure to tune in to hear him and fellow staffers recount the most memorable tournaments in Augusta National history on A Pod Unlike Any Other.

South Tees leads the way for robotic surgery in NHS – Digital Health

Posted: at 3:06 am

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has become one of only three NHS trusts to have a team of surgical robots.

Surgical teams at The James Cook University Hospital now have three da Vinci robots, allowing them to treat patients with minimally invasive procedures.

The trust says it now has the potential to become a national centre of excellence.

The three robots will be used across five specialities at the hospital including urology; thoratic services; gynaecology; general surgery; and ear, nose and throat services.

James Cook currently provides robotic surgery to about 380 patients a year, but the expansion programme is expected to double that number.

By 2021 its hoped that heart specialists at the hospital will be the first in the north east region and only the second in the UK to offer robotics for cardiac surgery.

Cardiothoracic surgeon Joel Dunning said: We are now one of only three hospitals in the UK that has three robots.

This is going to hugely spring forward our ability to do minimally invasive surgery at this site and it will allow us to start cardiac robotics so it is a very exciting time.

Robotic surgery has been used at the trust since 2014. The robots use tiny instruments which are controlled remotely by the surgeon sitting at a console.

Surgeons benefit from 3D vision of the procedure as well as hand and foot controls to control the instruments.

This enhanced precision helps reduce side effects and the length of time patients need to stay in hospital.

The trust is amongst the first in the UK to take part in a national Royal College of Surgeons study looking at how much robotic surgery benefits patients.
