The specialists of the urological center of the university of John khopkins in Baltimore (state of Maryland) developed the new engine PneuStep, intended for the robots, which perform operations inside the apparatuses for the magnetic tomographs, reports Photonics.com. Magnetic fields inside the tomograph do not make it possible to use metallic details and electro-sends-off. Therefore for some operations it is necessary to carry out blindly, being guided by the preliminarily taken tomograms. In the new engine are used only the ceramics, plastic and rubber, while in action motor is set by the compressed air. All information is transferred by the optovolokonnym channels. The accuracy of the movement of tool composes to 50 m the robots, the powered by new motor at present undergo preclinical tests. Details about the engine can be found on the site of university.
