Dear Friends and Students
This year we introduced 3 new emerging courses in our institution – Artificial Intelligence-Machine Learning, Data Science, and Robotics. We are receiving numerous calls on how these courses are different as a regular CSE/IT student can also do AI-ML application or regular Mechanical Engineer can also develop basic robot using their mechanical knowledge. Honestly, I was not able to convince parents with regular examples. However, this particular example really gave me enough confidence in how a student should visualize his/her career in these emerging areas! Read this story.
A doctor (Otorhinolaryngology-head and neck doctor) in Itali (Milan) used robotic technology over a 5G network to operate a dead body that is 9 miles away. You know what, the low latency and high bandwidth of 5G allowed the surgeon to operate as if he were in the operating room with the patient (www.courthousenews.com/). How does it help? A doctor can be anywhere; the patient can be anywhere. The best procedure can be offered at a low cost.
Though this kind of process started in 2001 in New York, due to the limited availability of surgical robots in a combination with the 5G network, this application could not kick-off for the last 20 years. Now Robotics is emerging. 5G network is a reality. Anything possible in this deadly combination!
You know if this gets materialized, as per estimates, by 2035, it would impact the economy up to $3.5 trillion and it might create 22 million jobs!!
In 5G telementoring, the remote doctor is guided by another expert doctor and performs the operation. In 5G telesurgery, the remote doctor himself/herself can operate on the patient using a surgical robotic system and appropriate teleoperation interfaces. AI+ Robotic Assistance+ 5G is going to create a revolution in medical or any similar tele-situations!
Surgeon Side Equipment: Tablet Device, Omega Haptic Device (mechanical devices that mediate communication between the user and the computer), 3D display
Network used between Surgeon and Patient: 5G network
Patient Side Equipment: Laser Arm, Franka Emika (a Cobot (collaborative Robot), agile as a human arm with a human touch sense, a completely smart interactive solution, easy to set up and intuitive to use), VITOM® 3D (3D Visualization for Microsurgery and Open Surgery), Forceps in this throat operation case (Medical tool that resembles large salad tongs), Laryngoscopy (to treat some problems in the vocal cords or throat).
This kind of technology forces doctors to learn robotics as an elective during their MBBS. Else, doctors miss opportunities as the best doctor in Romania can Operate on Patients in Hyderabad. Wrong usage or wrong application during runtime creates havoc. Hence, they must learn techniques for survival.
A London surgeon recently did a remote operation in California via a 5G connection. But, what was operated on? Not a human or an animal, but a banana.
