Engineering By Design: Sewing Machine Robot Will Weave Implants Into Your Brain

This week, uk-based Lotus introduced the Avaya byah byah byah, the world's first all-electric British hyper car. The powerful car will tap out and more than 200 miles per hour and go from 0 to 62 in less than 3 seconds 0 to 186. In less than nine seconds metric, the stunning design also comes with a stunning price tag. After all, it's a hyper car and they're only making a hundred and thirty of them, but it's gon na cost. You two point 1 million dollars to add to your collection. The deposit alone is over three hundred and ten thousand dollars, but production is scheduled for 2020, so yeah, some time to save the electric car will weigh approximately three thousand seven hundred and three pounds and have a driving range of 250 miles with a charge. Time of only 18 minutes according to the company's target specs, it will be the most powerful production car in the world at 2,000. Ps prefer nakaka. That'S metric, horsepower, Dakka, Dakka, fairness, danke, fair, there's, naka, fit fairness, danke Fanta, Chaka, fairness, haka! Why don't you go in the water cuz? I Shaka. The car will be designed engineered in hand built in Hethel UK, where Lotus has been making cars since 1966. According to the company, Avaya means the first in existence or the living one. I just thought you'd like to know that Spanish researchers at Rutgers have created a device that uses artificial intelligence and biosensors to determine if chemotherapy is working in cancer patients. In a new study in the journal of Microsystems and nano engineering, the researchers say that the small device has been ninety five point: nine percent accurate in Counting live cancer cells, current devices use a cell staining method and it takes a lot of time and limits the Amount of further analysis, this portable device provides immediate results and also allows further analysis. The device takes a small sample of fluid from a patient. The fluid and tumor cells passes through gold electrodes in a tiny fluidic hole. The electro send a signal to a computer which uses machine learning to predict the cell's viability. Basically, if it sees dead, tumor cells, the therapy is working if it sees live cells, the treatment not working, and at that point the doctors could build a new treatment plant. According to the researchers, the device will not only enable more personalized medicine, but it will improve disease management and detection. The relatively low cost design could also help lower the financial strain of the terrifically expensive process. Next, the team plans to test the devices using tumor samples from patients banished data. In march 2017, we learned of Elon Musk's new venture knurling, which was focused on linking brains to computers. The idea was that such a man-machine hybrid would be necessary for humans to keep up with artificial intelligence and could also be used to help treat neural disorders. This week, we not only found out a little bit about how the brain computer interface works, but we also learned about the robot that has already implanted 19 animals, mostly rats, and at least one monkey at least one. The team which now has around 100 employees, developed a robot that works like a sewing machine only instead of needles, thread and fabric. The machine drills bore eight millimeter holes in your skull and stitches metal, threads or electrodes into your brain. The threads are 75 percent smaller than a human hair and connected to a device that would be implanted behind your ears. The device will collect and transmit the neural data, and a neurosurgeon will oversee the implantation procedure in one test. A monkey controlled a computer using just its brain and in another test, a computer recorded a rats thoughts. Neural link has been implanted in animals with an 87 percent success rate, but the data thus far has been unusable. The researchers hope that neural link could one day be an elective procedure like LASIK. The company is now seeking FDA approval to start human testing and they hope to test on five patients within a year. I'M David manty. This is engineering by design.
