A 5,000-year-old therapeutic practice gets an upgrade. Fully automated, heated robotic arms powered by AI ensure that Aescape’s massager provides a personalized, customizable experience that doesn’t require you to be naked and covered in oil.

Scientists have long puzzled over why some dinosaurs had feathers and wings long before they evolved the ability of flight. Experiments with a robot dinosaur may now have revealed the answer – they used them for hunting.

The mosquitofish is a harmful invasive species in much of the world, outcompeting and overwhelming native fish and other aquatic life. Scientists are now working on a solution to the problem, in the form of a robotic bass.

​Musician Jason Barnes had part of his arm amputated in 2012, but with the help of a team led by prosthetics researcher GIl Weinberg he has found new ways to keep honing his craft, the latest example being a prosthetic arm that enables fine control over the keys of a piano.

The da Vinci robotic surgical system may be handy, but a high price tag could be out of reach of some hospitals. Now Intuitive Surgical has announced the da Vinci X, a new version of the robot designed to be a little easier on the budget, while still providing most of the flagship model's abilities.

Biomedical engineering company Össur has announced the successful development of a thought controlled bionic prosthetic leg. The new technology enables subconscious, real-time control and faster, more natural responses and movements.

A University of Glasgow team led by Professor Lee Cronin, the Regius Chair of Chemistry, has developed the world's first chemical system capable of evolving as part of a project that aims at creating synthetic "life" without DNA.

A Swedish man has recently celebrated a milestone in robotic prostheses technology by using a bone-fused prosthetic device that is controlled by his own thoughts for more than a full year, and with reportedly exceptional results.

Although the administering of fluids to patients via an IV line may be commonplace, what many people may not realize is that getting the needle into a vein can be quite a tricky process. That’s why a team from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created a robotic gadget to do the job.

The active cannula is an experimental device, that could make the surgical removal of blood clots in the brain much safer and more effective.

Touch Bionic’s i-limb ultra revolution robotic artificial hand is linked to a smartphone app for greater control of the hand.

Brown University has developed a robotic bat wing that mimics the ligaments, skin and structural supports of the real thing
