First tooth "repair" done autonomous by a robot. It's been here on HN. the mouth has been scanned and mapped by the robot. the robot uses light instead of x-ray, reducing the overall x-ray exposure of tissue. with light they also can see the cavities & nerves. The doctors decide what to do and the the robot started to that sound, to drill the tooth off. Even when the patient was moving with the head, the Roboter did a precise job
- apwell23 2y agooh my god. I really admire the person who signed up to be a test subject for this. that guy needs to be in redbull youtube.
- theGeatZhopa 2y agowhat can go wrong... :) the robot is also capable to do the drilling safely, even the patient is moving. Whats also a big suprise, the robot knows where the nerves are. Thats the biggest advantage in my eyes. May be, one day you can have your tooth made while you chat on the telephone sipping a mokka hahah and no one going loose on your nerves.
