The Year in Robotics
Advances in robotics for personal assistance, medicine, and the military in 2008.
Robotic research marched ahead this year: biomedical robots performed less invasive and more complex experimental surgeries, winged robots copied each other to perform potential military maneuvers, and researchers began work on robots that may even be able to travel through the blood to zap a tumor.
