Cometh the cyborg: Improved integration of living muscles into robots
The new field of biohybrid robotics involves the use of living tissue within robots, rather than just metal and plastic.
Diagnostic imaging computers outperform human counterparts
The ‘deep learning’ computers in Anant Madabhushi’s diagnostic imaging lab at Case Western Reserve University routinely defeat their human counterparts
Going beyond ‘human error’
Failures in highly technological environments, such as military aircraft, can be investigated using known tools like HFACS, the U.S. Department
