Atomun – Robot Performs Surgery for First Time

TeleSUR's program on science and technology in Latin America, focusing on the human side of science and technology at the service of progress. Today our host Danny Perez starts off with another look at the movie “Moon” in the “Not Really Fiction” section, this time addressing the issue of cloning. Although the sheep Dolly was cloned before this movie was made, no human being has been cloned to date. In “APP of the Week” we first learn about the new instrument “Animoto” that can help us make great videos and then learn how to denounce somebody who has hacked our facebook account. Then it’s on to Ecuador where surgery was performed by a robot for the very first time with Da Vinci technology. And finally we meet another robot capable of cooking a delicious meal. TeleSUR
