Robot that makes hip surgery simple:

UK scientists have developed a surgical robot that makes hip operations extremely simple.Generally,surgeries that involve using chrome alloy to resurface the ball of the hip joint are extremely difficult and need years of experience to perfect.However,using the new technology for ‘virtual’ operations,even untrained students were able to achieve high levels of accuracy.Developed by students at Imperial College London,the Wayfinder is similar to GPS navigation systems;it senses the movement of the surgical tools and compares it to detailed images of the bones.
