TOMSK, Jul 12 – RIA Tomsk. Scientists of the Tomsk Cardiology Research Institute and Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) plan to develop the mobile robot with distance steering which will provide first aid to the victims, injured in places of emergency and of military operations, the innovative portal of the Tomsk region reports on Wednesday.
"We wrote the specification... It will be a car with arms and eyes-cameras. Its "brain" will remain a person who will give commands to the robot remotely", – the portal quotes the deputy director of the Cardiology Research Institute Shamil Akhmedov.
It is specified that the robot will be guided on the place by means of the operator who will assess the situation, using cameras-"eyes". The robot will provide first aid: will stop bleeding, anesthetize, make immobilization (splint a fracture) and transports a person to a safe place.
It is marked that the scientists expect "to fill" the machine with the modern medical tools and medicines. The nonresident partner – NPO "Android Technics" (Magnitogorsk), will develop «Hands» of the robot then it will be "taught" to work with a scalpel and other tools in the Tomsk Cardiology Research Institute, TPU is responsible for software development. The first stage of the work is to last for three years.It is specified that scientists plan to begin to test the robot on animals in three years, and the project is to last seven years. The developers submitted the project on creation of mobile robotic installation for primary medical aid on competitions of the RRussian Foundation for Basic Research and Russian Scientific Fund.
Earlier it was reported that scientists of the International laboratory "Vision systems" of Tomsk State University developed the robot capable to survey territories regarding chemical and radiation contamination, and also create the autonomous robotic platform for evacuation of people and collecting dangerous objects at rescue operations in places of technogenic catastrophes.
