As RDJ returns to the MCU, science and technology are reaching new Ironman status with their latest innovations.
Who would have thought that we’d get to see titanium hearts being successfully implanted to a human before 2024 ends? Or better yet a self-navigating delivery robot to help you in delivering up to 100-lbs? These two weren’t anticipated but it is definitely not a shock, especially in the ever-changing industries of science and technology.
The First Titanium Heart Successfully Implanted Into A Human
With technology similar to what’s being used in bullet trains, the first titanium-constructed heart was successfully implanted into a human patient and it is known as the “BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart.”
The Baylor College of Medicine and the Texas Heart Institute spearheaded the study, innovation, and the surgical process surrounding the implantation. According to the published news of BCM.Edu, “BiVACOR’s TAH is a titanium-constructed biventricular rotary blood pump with a single moving part that utilizes a magnetically levitated rotor that pumps the blood and replaces both ventricles of a failing heart.”
The success of the process paved the way for more patients to receive the titanium hearts, in which Baylor disclosed that they are aiming for four more patients to be included in their technological study and innovation.
The Delivery Robot That Has The Map
Vayu Robotics, a startup company was able to invent the very first self-navigating delivery robot that could carry up to 100-lbs at 20 MPH!
Named as the “Vayu One,” the invention works without the use of LiDar (Light Detection and Ranging) technology; instead, it has passive sensors or cameras paired with Value’s proprietary AI mobility software that could help it detect streets and pave its own way.
This mini delivery robot is just the start of what soon becomes a more convenient and affordable method of delivering goods from one place to another.
