روبوت يقتحم غرف العمليات في نيويورك

In the Astra Vascular Clinic in New York, a 1.27-meter tall silver robot named "Astra" is on display, a modern prototype currently in training. It is not just a machine that waves at customers or hands out flyers; it aims to become part of surgical operations soon.

Role in Surgery

The clinic's owner, Dr. George Polutin, hopes that "Astra" will become an assistant to surgeons, providing tools, supporting the medical team, and perhaps even offering direct advice during operations. "It is a robot equipped for upgrades, and it will play an important role in the future," says Polutin.

Amazing Skills

According to the New York Post, "Astra" was purchased for $20,000 and operates in the clinic's three branches. It can stand, run at a speed of 3 miles per hour, tell jokes, blow kisses, and is operated via Polutin's phone, with future software updates to increase its independence.

Advantages and Challenges

The robot "Astra" may reduce the need for human staff in some tasks, but it raises concerns for Polutin regarding potential programming breaches: "If someone programmed 'Astra' to use a knife, proving the perpetrator would be difficult."
