EAST LANSING, Mich. – Women living in remote areas who don’t have easy
access to health care will someday be able to have a potentially life-saving
breast exam thanks to robotic technology being developed at Michigan State University.

Physicians from MSU’s Department of Surgery are teaming with researchers
in the College of Engineering to develop a robotic device that can check
for lumps and other abnormalities in a woman’s breast and, at the same
time, get an ultrasound image.

Silly boffins. We've had a working robot for years.
And our machine is slightly less imposing.
