The Robotic Arm

A robotic arm has been created to assist wounded soldiers in the midst of battle. The robotic arm can detect breathing, deliver health supplies and assess the fighter's health condition. The device is controlled with a joystick and is wireless (obviously). The original researchers from Carnegie Mellon are trying to include ultra sound capabilities on the device to detect internal bleeding. The idea is to not limit the bot to just health care but to expand its capabilities to search and rescue, bridge, bomb disarming, and much more.
