Summary

NSH Columnist Raul about Necrobotics on WAICF2024 Dais “Necrobotics, a novel technology, employs deceased spiders as AI-managed robotic grippers, specifically designed for intricate procedures,” Dr. Raul Villamarin Rodriguez, a fervent advocate and a columnist for NSH, speaks about this innovative technology, on which he spoke about at the World Artificial Intelligence Festival in Cannes (WAICF 2024). “Would you entrust a spider to operate on you if you were diagnosed with a brain tumor?” This provocative question sets the stage for the conference at WAICF, presented by Raul Villamarin Rodriguez. As a cognitive technologist and the Vice President of Woxsen University in Hyderabad, Rodriguez captivates his audience with such thought-provoking inquiries. He continued while talking to NSH, on his return, “it’s conceivable that you might encounter a surgeon grappling with personal issues, such as mental health or marital troubles. In such a scenario, would you still proceed with the operation?” Raul Villamarin Rodriguez, Vice President of Woxsen University in Hyderabad | Neosciencehub Necrobotics, a term derived from the Greek word νεκρóς, meaning ‘dead’, combined with ‘robotics’, represents the forefront of technological innovation. This avant-garde technology employs spiders as robotic forceps, specifically designed for micro-surgeries. While it may seem like a concept straight out of a science fiction novel, it is indeed a reality. It represents the final frontier in the integration of biology and artificial intelligence. Indeed, the term “necrobotics” might give the impression that it involves the use of deceased spiders. However, this is a misconception. The actual focus is on bio-induced necrobotics, a sophisticated technology rooted in Artificial Intelligence. This technology leverages the unique properties of spider silk, along with other biocompatible materials, to construct microrobots. These microrobots are specifically designed for surgical applications, mar...
