Robots are continuing to get personal with humans, all in the name of science — a robot prototype has been created by Canadian researchers to detect cancer in people. Developed at the University of Western Ontario, the robot can indentify tumour tissue with 40 per cent more accuracy than human surgeons, and in half the time. Research shows that the prototype can heavily reduce damage done to patients by using tactile sensing instruments in a far more efficient manner than human surgeons (one-third less damage when compared), thus minimizing the force applied to body tissue, when looking for tumours
