A team of researchers\nis developing a dynamic robot that depicts the opening of the cervix, which\nwill help take midwifery simulation training to a new level. The team received\n20,000 euros from the autumn round of Prototron, but they consider mentoring even\nmore valuable in terms of how to make their ideas more attractive to potential\ninvestors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The soft robotic cervix is formed by scientists\nwhose connection point is the University of Tartu and research in the field of\nsoft robotics. Soft robotics is a branch of robotics that deals with smoothing\nthe differences between man and machine. The goal is to create robots that\nbehave like live nature, such as humans, or more specifically, the cervix in\nthe case of Soft robotic cervix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The robot person comes\nto the rescue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simulation training works best in training\nmedical and healthcare professionals. Since it is not possible to invite\nvolunteers to practice all the tasks for the learning process, a robot person\ncomes to the rescue, who, in addition to observing, would also behave, feel and\nbe like a real person when touched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had very good contact with midwifery\nteachers, who confirmed that Estonia has already invested significantly in\nsimulation training. We have entire simulation training centers that use\ntechnology not older than five years old. If something comes on the market,\nEstonian health care institutions will buy it. Indeed, the level of modern\nrobotics is such that certain processes can best be learned through simulation.\nThere is currently no robot version that simulates cervical opening, and for us,\nit is a springboard. We start with the birth of the robot person from the most\nlogical part of the body, i.e., the cervix,\u201d said Indrek Must, one of the\nleaders of the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longer perspective \u2013\nexoskeleton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the long run, in 5-10 years, the task of\nSoft robotic cervix is to make a human exoskeleton. \u201cThe first sore point is\npeople with reduced mobility, to whom we can return mobility, either partially\nor completely. We don\u2019t want to build a frame around a person, but a real\nperson,\u201d Must concludes the vision of the team. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
