You're entitled to your opinion. A meteor could hit us tomorrow too, but I think the likelihood that SPORT is a tremendous success is very high. Whether Titan gets bought before SPORT is released for sale, is another debate altogether.
“Our IREP system represents an exciting new development in robotic surgery,” says Allen. “Instead of multi-million-dollar large robotic systems, this is a low-cost, minimally invasive, compact system that includes state-of-the-art robotic arms and surgical instrumentation with 3-D stereo-vision imaging and a suite of intelligent software for control and visualization to assist the surgeon.”
The IREP consists of a collapsible configuration for insertion into natural orifices or through a small incision, a dual arm configuration with seven degrees of freedom per arm, and a binocular camera for 3-D visualization. The unique 3-D vision system, which includes two controllable miniature cameras inside the body, can be used to automatically track anatomical structures and surgical tools during a procedure, providing real-time in-vivo viewing for the surgeon. Using stereo reconstruction methods, surgeons can also model the patient’s internal anatomy and register it with pre-operative CT, Ultrasound, or MRI scans.
